Save Your Marriage With Stress Management

By Darci Alishouse


When more than 50% of marriages end in divorce you have to wonder how they began. Did the newly engaged couple go into their wedding knowing that they would end up in divorce court? Or more likely did they start our with great hope and then the realities of life, kids, finances, careers, wear away at their relationship. If this same couple had been able to implement stress management could they save their marriage?

Honeymooners are great. They're all starry eyed and lost in the wonder of each other. We love to watch movies and write poetry about being in love. We like to think of love as staying that way forever, a delightful paradise that never transforms.

Relationships do change. Relationship problems arise and they aren't usually caused by some catastrophic event but more of a slow grinding away of the giddiness. The daily pressures of life, the stress of work and kids wears away at even the best of us and can cause major marriage problems.

After months and years of the daily grinding pressure we can be left empty and sad and because we're not perfect we turn our own dissatisfaction onto our spouse. Our unhappiness extends beyond ourselves and infects our relationships, especially with the one we love the most.

Handling your daily pressures differently could be the answer to saving your marriage. Taking some time to incorporate stress management and bringing your stress levels down can lower your negative reactions to your spouse and bring your relationship into a better place.

Sometimes confessing that you are not happy at work or that your kids stress you out is difficult. It's important to acknowledge the strain you feel in order to address it and do something to change. Learning to meditate or taking time out of your day just to relax and have fun can be a good beginning in a stress management program.

Basically making your personal serenity in life a priority is the beginning of good stress management. Not having to take your negative emotions out on your spouse could save your marriage and, in the end, create a better relationship between you and your spouse.
