Pinpoint Your Stressors

Stress has earned a bad reputation. It's really a God-given response that triggers your body for fight or flight. It can spur you into action, saving your life in an emergency. But when feelings of stress linger or are triggered for little reason, they can deplete your body's resources. They can make you susceptible to heart disease, high blood pressure, even the common cold. You can become forgetful, disorganized, and less creative. Prolonged feelings of stress can also result in anxiety, aggression, or depression.

What are your biggest "stressors"? Procrastination? Perfectionism? Disorganization? A dead-end job? Illness? Unresolved conflict? Finances? Recognizing the main sources of stress for you and your mate is the first step toward reducing their effect on you. It will bring peace to your marriage and home.

If you want "home sweet home," kick stress out the door.
