Feeling the ongoing stress of the pandemic, combined with the stress of inflation and the upcoming holiday season, relationship stress is at an all time high.

Maybe you feel like your partner doesn’t take on enough of the mental load, or your communication has broken down to where you either explode at each other or don’t even speak at all.

The weight of relationship stress is real.

Although it can be difficult to feel like things can get better; with a little work, optimism, and patience, relationship change is very possible!

Start by simply committing to work on things slowly, and communicate your desire for relationship change with your partner.  

Here are some great resources to get you started on healing and fostering a healthy relationship:
