How stress affects your romantic relationship. Stress accounts for irritability. It also has the capability of creating ‘a river of stress’. If someone is stressed and takes it out on you, that affects you. In turn, it’s not uncommon for you to become stressed and take it out on someone else. The stress keeps traveling from one person to the next.

- When stress affects your partner and they react towards you, such as venting their stress, it’s usually taken much more seriously than if someone else had directed the stress at you. We tend to be closer to our romantic partners than anyone else in our little world.
- Stress influences sex. If you’re over-stressed you’re not going to feel romantic. In turn, that can make your partner feel rejected and unloved.
What you can do to lighten your stress load.
- Get adequate sleep. Practice going to bed at the same time every night and don’t vary – even on the weekends. Allow yourself 2-3 weeks and see the difference this makes in your overall health. You’ll feel more rested, more relaxed and buffered against potential stress. You’ll also get far more accomplished during the day because you’ll feel better!
- Pamper yourself and your mate. Take time out from ‘life’ to live! Take care of the important things in life; the rest can always wait.
- If you anticipate a stressful event arriving in your life, such as moving, try to focus on that single issue rather than adding more stress to the load. For example, if you’re moving think twice before making a major purchase, or changing jobs or taking a vacation. Remember, even good stress is stress. Save that vacation for ‘after’ the move rather than before!
- Eat smart; eat healthy. Take those vitamins!
- Incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Pick an activity that you know you’ll stick with. Better yet, take up an activity with your honey, such as hiking, boating or skating. The quality time that you’ll spend together is an added bonus.
- Maintain a positive mental outlook. Try not to focus on things that may never happen, especially negative thoughts.
There is one last thing that you can do that’s guaranteed to release tons of stress. Hug, hug, hug your partner! Next time you’re with one another, try it and feel the stress rising from you.
