    Stress - How it affects relationships.

    Send us Fan Mail Stress Is More Than Personal—It Can Become a Relationship Problem Stress has a sneaky way of following us home. Work. Money. Kids. Divorce. Family obligations. Health concerns. An endless to-do list. We may think we're handling it—but sometimes the people closest to us are the ones who feel the impact. In this episode of Jenga On The Record, Lorie Wood and Steve Fatula talk about how stress can quietly change the way we communicate, react, connect, and handle conflict in our relationships. Why do little things suddenly become big things? Why are we sometimes less patient with the people we love most? And how can we recognize when the real problem isn't our partner—or even the issue we're arguing about—but the stress we're carrying into the relationship? Whether you're married, divorced, co-parenting, dating, or simply trying to build healthier relationships, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes the conflict isn't the problem. It's a symptom of something else. 🎙️ Listen to this episode of Jenga On The Record and ask yourself: Is stress affecting my relationships more than I realize?
