Your partner’s stress affects you. You may be dealing with demanding jobs and chronic health issues. You may have personalities that are prone to anxiety.

Depending on how you respond to these daily challenges, you can lighten your load or you can wind up adding to the pressure. Your home can be a refuge where you both feel comfortable or your relationship can become another source of tension.

Learn how to keep stress from interfering with your mutual health and wellbeing.

Use these tips to work together as a couple to relax effectively.

Benefits:

1. Gain skills. Teaching is an excellent way of learning. While you’re showing your partner how to relax, you’re strengthening your own abilities. Take turns explaining or demonstrating different relaxation techniques like massage or meditation.

2. Feel closer. Working towards any common goal can draw you together. Create your own personal rituals for making mornings run more smoothly and winding down after work.

3. Live happier. Chronic stress drains your energy and puts your health at risk. As you become more skillful at maintaining your peace of mind, the world will seem friendlier and you’ll feel more content.
