What Helps Couples Under Stress?

Hello, and welcome to my site. My name is Victoria Rivera, and I’m a New York City marriage counselor and couples therapist who is committed to helping couples get to the root of their issues. One of the biggest issues that couples experience in their relationship is stress. Unfortunately, stress arises because of numerous issues in between partners and spouses. However, I’d love to help guide you in finding a solution that suits your needs.  For more info and inquiries:

When couples practice mindfulness, it can save them from a lot of the things that cause significant stress during a relationship. Mindfulness gives couples more chances to look at their needs and goals, but even more, it opens the lines of communications fully. Couples need to be there for one another or they risk losing one another through the process. 

Can Stress Ruin a Relationship?

There are several things that can cause stress, including the following:

  • Communication issues
  • Financial disagreements
  • Lack of intimacy 
  • Differences in wants
  • Feelings of neglect or disrespect

When couples are unaware of how to approach these feelings of stress, it can easily lead to thoughts of divorce. The biggest problem that couples encounter because of stress is feelings of resentment. They use the stress as a reason to argue, building on already contentious situations.  The more a couple argues over the things that cause them stress, the more it can drive them to divorce. Before you consider divorce though, it helps to speak with a couples therapist to determine what’s causing the stress, as well as what you can do to reach your goals in your relationship. I’ll work with you to show how mindfulness can help you and your significant other. 

How Can I Tell If My Partner Is Stressed?

If you feel as though your significant other is dealing with stress, it is crucial to recognize the most important signs. Here are some of the signs you should look for that can indicate your significant other is stressed. 

  • Your significant other appears distant. They’re not participating in some of the things that you both once enjoyed doing together.
  • Your significant other is ignoring some of the communication efforts you are putting forth. 
  • Your significant other puts more effort into other hobbies and other people to avoid spending time with you.
  • Your significant other is no longer intimate with you and they’re not showing you as much affection as they once did.

Stress can be an external thing too, but many people allow it to become a factor in their marriage.  Call my office today for a free phone consultation, and I’ll help you understand your options.  

Can Marriage Counseling Help with Stress?

While you may think that marriage counseling can make stress worse, it’s crucial to know that there are helpful activities. If you come into couples therapy with an open mind and willingness to listen to your significant other, it can help you identify the sources of stress. Once you identify how the stress occurs, you can work towards solutions that help you avoid some of the biggest problems. Marriage counseling is one of the most effective things you and your spouse can do. However, mindfulness and vulnerability can keep the peace throughout counseling to help you and your spouse fully focus on a solution. Be sure to keep your intentions, goals, and needs clear. The more you communicate, the more it helps with stress. I can help you focus on non-stressful methods that can help over time.Get the Help You Need from a Dedicated NYC Couples TherapistYou never want your marriage to end because of something you can control. To preserve your love and your relationship, it’s crucial to focus on each other and remove the stress from the scenario. My method is designed to help you and your significant other find helpful solutions so you can move forward effectively. I’ll be there to help you every step of the way.
