A recent University of Utah study concluded that marriage problems lead to heart problems in women. Although science has now proven what most women already know, that provides little relief for the wife plagued with intense emotional stress.
Finances, in-laws, children, work, etc. all compete for your time and attention and often put a wedge between you and your spouse. Marriage can slide into second, third, or fourth place too easily as you try to balance all the demands of daily living. You can't be all things to all people yet for many of you, you'll die trying, literally.
When the stresses of marriage overwhelm you, you may begin to distance yourself from others as you just can't handle any more problems. You may find it difficult to resolve conflicts and your primary relationship, your marriage, is the one that suffers most.
When the most important relationship in life is at stake, you no longer have a strong shoulder to lean on and a confidante to help you deal with life's problems. You begin to feel all alone and hopeless. This is when many women internalize their responses to stress and attempt to live beyond themselves. Denial is the first choice for many women but emotional outbursts are at the opposite pole, while some women bounce from one extreme to the other. All of these eventually cause negative health effects.
Suppressing feelings or expressing feelings are the two methods most people choose to deal with their emotions but neither gives the relief you need. You first must identify exactly how you feel before you can know which one, if either, of those methods will help solve the problem.
People usually don't take the time to think through their feelings before responding to them. Many people don't want to deal with what's causing the negative emotions but there is no other way to find a solution unless you first identify the problem. Without taking that first and most crucial step, you will continue in the unhealthy cycle of emotional responses of denial or outburst.
A person ruled by their emotions is headed for despair. You must master your feelings or they will become a harsh master over you.
Research has proven that your mental health has a profound effect on your physical health. Now is the time to learn how to identify and properly express your feelings, before they surface as health problems. You must learn coping strategies that work, based on reason, not feelings, or you will begin to suffer physically.
When you get pulled in too many directions, there is not enough left of you to work on your marriage, or your mental health. But you can improve your physical health and overall emotional well-being by improving your marriage. Don't wait another minute. Put the brakes on everything else that's causing your stress and focus on your number one relationship.
