1. Take a Deep Breath and Think
When a stress event occurs in a relationship, it is easy for the wife to get emotional and the husband to work towards coming to an immediate solution. It is necessary for both parts of the couple to take a step back, breathe, calm down, and think about what the options are. This way, the couple is able to see the big picture clearly and is able to make the appropriate decisions.
2. Know that You are in This Together
Don't ever take on a stress event alone. You and your spouse are hitched together, so take advantage of the support! Knowing that you have someone there to love and support you through a stressful event helps you to calm you down and come to a solution easier.
3. Work as a Team Towards a Solution
Finally, remember that you are a team. You both must play an important role in coming to an agreed upon solution, and that is not possible if each spouse is working towards their own solution. Working together helps to reinforce your trust in one another and further builds your marriage!
