Marriage Counseling - De-Stressing Your Marriage

In our Marriage Counseling Practice clients tell us that their marriages are very stressed. We have discovered a number of common threads that lead to this stress.

Here are a few:

1. Lack of time. Too many commitments often caused by the inability to say no to a request.
2. Lack of money. With the economy causing job losses it is particularly a problem these days.
3. Lack of sleep. This can be very hard on our bodies, our minds, and our emotions.
4. Lack of organization usually leads to a chaotic home and schedule.
5. Lack or exercise. With little or no exercise our bodies and minds don’t function well.
6. No recreation. No fun in our lives.
7. Too many outside activities for the children. This is stressful on both the parents and the kids.

Here are some antidotes for a stress filled life:

1. Prayer. God provides a place of Rest and Peace for us when we seek Him.
2. Money management. If you need help budgeting there are those who can help.
3. Don’t put things down, put them away. A messy house leads to stress.
4. Do a “Daily Plan” to organize your time and make sure you are not over committed.
5. Just say no to requests that are more than you can handle in a healthy way.
6. Get plenty or rest and exercise.
7. Mark out at least one day each week for fun, relaxation, and recreation.
8. Limit children’s outside activities.
9. Laughter. The Bible says that laughter restores the soul.

We can only handle so much stress before our personal health is affected. Likewise our relationships can only handle so much stress before they are negatively affected.

Most couples can make these changes on their own. But, if your marriage has already moved into a heavily stressed relationship, you may need outside help. Often folks turn to Marriage Counseling for help from an expert.

There is hope that you can relieve the stress in your Marriage.
