What are some effective coping strategies for relationship stress?

There are several strategies you can use to cope with relationship stress. Would you like to hear about communication techniques first?

Yes, communication techniques sound great!

One effective technique is active listening. This means fully concentrating on what your partner is saying without interrupting.

That makes sense. What else can I do?

Another strategy is to set aside regular time for open discussions, where both partners can express their feelings without judgment.

I like that idea! Any tips on managing emotions during these discussions?

Absolutely! It's helpful to take deep breaths and pause if you feel overwhelmed. You can also use 'I' statements to express your feelings without blaming.
