3 Things To Consider To Manage Stress In Your Marriage

The silence, the sharp outbursts and the constant misunderstandings have your marital relationship almost at it's breaking point. You're tired of feeling the pain and anguish that rests in the pit of your stomach every time you see each other, what are you going to do?

Below are 3 things you can to do manage the stress in your marriage.

1. For starters, the best thing to do is not to over react to the situation in an attempt to justify your own feelings. This strategy only prolongs the situation and is like dousing a fire with gasoline.

It's best to sit down for a moment and consider what you're willing to do to resolve the issues affecting your marriage. There is a saying that says: " It takes two to Tango", so try to figure out what you may have done to contribute to the situation.

This does not mean an admission of guilt, but rather it's a way of taking responsibility on your part and empowering yourself to find a solution.

2. Try to understand the situation through your mates eyes. If you've been married for a number of years, there are things you know about your spouse that could help you to unravel the mystery that has created the gap in your relationship.

Due to the fact that you spend every waking moment with each other it's possible that certain boundaries may have been unintentionally crossed setting off the cold war your experiencing now.

3. Be willing to talk and apologize if necessary. An apology can be a small gesture that has a major impact and if you're willing to go the extra mile to save your marriage, then it could be as simple as saying: "I'm sorry".

Divorce rates are skyrocketing today and many families are being shattered by it's effects. You and your family don't deserve to suffer the consequences from that action.
