Describe the effect of stress on relationships.

 Effect of stress on relationships:

Although stress is common, it can be harmful for relationships. Oftentimes, people bottle up or keep their stress to themselves, which makes it difficult for their partners to understand what they are going through and to provide support.

Not dealing with stress can create a negative cycle where partners “catch” each other’s stress. 

This happens because stress is contagious – when our partners are stressed, we become stressed. Think back to an argument that escalated quickly.

You might have “caught” one another’s stress during the argument, which made you both feel even more frazzled and made you say things you wouldn’t have otherwise said.

Couples get stuck in this negative cycle and may be too stressed to deal with the underlying issue.
