The stress of everyday life can take its toll on any intimate
relationship. We are all hurried and over-scheduled most of the time
these days. Between running back and forth to our jobs, and running our
children to and from soccer practice, ballet, or karate, etc., it can
become very frustrating when you are wanting to keep your intimate
relationship solid. Aside from the hurried schedule of life, there are
many other life stresses that can take a toll on your relationship with
your life partner.
Simple issues like money problems, dealing with complications from previous relationships, and raising children, can wreak havoc in an intimate relationship. It's very easy to turn away from each other when dealing with these type of issues. Some people simply go inward and refuse to talk about anything while others may turn to someone else. This is how many cases of infidelity start. The partners are unable or unwilling to talk to each other about the major issues at hand, so they turn to someone else who seems to have a more understanding ear.
It's very important to remember you must turn to each other when there are problems helping to bring trauma to your relationship. These life stresses may be completely outside of the relationship and outside of your control, but that doesn't mean they don't add undue stress to your relationship. Sometimes it can be simple things within the household that are causing a rift. For instance, if there is one party who doesn't help around the house. Even though this seems like such a simple issue, it can add up over time helping one of the partners to feel very resentful.
Partners should sit down from time to time to air out any issues that are starting to fester. You don't want these issues to chip away at your relationship. Take time to communicate openly with your partner about what's really bothering you. Even if the issues are outside of your relationship, let them know how much stress it is putting you under. Maybe there is something they can do to help you, to support you. For instance, if you feel like you're being rushed every day because you're carrying the kids back and forth to their activities, maybe your partner could take some of that load off of your daily schedule.
Remember your relationship is supposed to be the happy part of your life, the best part of your life. Your partner is called your partner for a reason. This is the person you have chosen to spend your life with, so let them help you when stresses are getting you down.
