Whether the stress is something major or is the cumulative effect of small daily hassles, stress can have large consequences over time on our close relationships.


Relationships magnify human emotions. This means that by sharing your joy, your love, your fear, and any other emotion, you make more of it. Therefore, it is important to understand what we want to promote and grow in our close relationships.


Stress can affect our personal lives and the quality of our close relationships in many ways. Most of the time, it is the stress in other areas of our lives that spills over into our personal relationships.


This is called cross-over stress, the stress from work that we transfer to our partner at home.

When we are stressed, we become more distracted, less connected, and less affectionate. We often also have less time to spend with our partners and we end up experiencing more conflict, distress, and distance in the relationship.

In addition, when we are stressed, we are more likely to notice all the negative aspects of our partner and we become either hypercritical or over-reactive. Or, we become more irritable and grumpy which increases the probability of communication problems and arguments.
