 | Relationships can demonstrate the best of times and the worst of times; they can help us feel 'free' or 'stuck', to feel supported or smothered, to be a stress reliever, a stress magnifier or cause of stress. This newsletter brings recent research on the link between relationships and stress, as well as tools you can use if your relationship creates stress for you. I invite you to share your thoughts by commenting on the blog, responding in the article, or even just voting in the poll. Enjoy the rest of your week, and may you bask in love this weekend! --Elizabeth | |

| Good Relationship Advice From Surprising Sources
When I posted the previous blog post on marriage as a stress relief tool on the About Stress Management Facebook page, someone said what many people were thinking, and hinted that marriage can be a major cause of stress as well. That's why it's important to have tools to weather the difficulties of long-term love. I've shared my own best tips on how to handle common marriage problems from a stress management perspective, but I also wanted to hear my readers' best advice, and so far, I've gotten about 30 great responses. Stop by and see the best advice from some of my other readers, and leave your own!
