Managing Marriage Stressors |
Every marriage faces hard times. These hard times or "marriage stressors" can occur only once, or they can be a permanent part of marriage. In this section, you'll find information about some of the more common stressful situations that couples experience.
Commonly known stressors include addictions, job difficulties, finances and infidelity. When you recognize that your marriage is facing a challenge, you can better manage and resolve that challenge by using skills. Overcoming difficult times together may result in a marriage that is stronger and more fulfilling.
Addictions
Addictions present major challenges to maintaining a healthy relationship. Addictions not only adversely affect the person struggling with the addiction, but also can create negative consequences for their relationships with significant others, spouses, and families.
Anger
Although all marriages and relationships inevitably experience conflict, there are safe and healthy methods for resolving problems. Anger is a natural emotion that if not managed in a healthy manner can be an obstacle to maintaining safe and beneficial relationships.
