Resources to Help Couples Stay Healthy and Reduce Stress at Home
Guest post by: Emily Graham at www.mightymoms.net
The COVID-19 crisis turned our worlds upside down, and coming out of the pandemic means all kinds of “new normals.” We’ve been forced to work from home, practice social distancing, and, until recently, keep ourselves at home and away from the outside world. That’s a lot of change over a very short amount of time. If you are married or in a relationship, all of these sudden changes may have put added stress on both you and your partner. If you’re not careful, that stress can quickly boil over and cause problems in your relationship.
So, how can couples stick together and maintain a healthy connection? Using these wellness and relationship tips from Essentia Therapy can certainly help.
