With the stresses and strains on us today, it is not surprising that more couples are finding that their relationship is under pressure. This may be because of work pressures, one partner spending a lot of time at work and then when coming home withdrawing or not being supportive. Children can put a lot of strain on a relationship, and different ages  fetch different problems. Financial, with the recent recession any surplus funds would have been absorbed by increasing bills. Overtime may have been reduced or stopped putting a relationship on further stresses and strains. Each of us deals with pressure and stress in different ways.  Often lack of communication in a relationship leads to assumptions creating its own problems. Talking it through with family or friends isn't always a positive experience because they know either or both of you and therefore cannot be neutral. A Counsellor
