Whether it is parenting, finances, work related maters or even something related to your relationship, working it out together enables you to look at things differently and also handle it with relative ease, which otherwise would not have been possible. Additionally, by experiencing stress together and sailing through it successfully, you actually strengthen your bonding.
More importantly, while handling stressful situations, it is important never to lose sight of each other or of your relationship. Laughing through tough times will ensure that you last while tough times do not. Listen to each other, nurture each other and you will see how easy it is to sail through the tough moments of your life.
For any successful relationship, it is important to actually listen to what your partner is saying and try to act accordingly or at least fulfill his or her desires. Intimacy is very important for the strengthening of any relationship and this should not be diminished due to stress.
