Stress and relationships

Web site: www.marsvenus.com

  1. When a woman talks, men just need to listen, not fix. By just listening, you will raise a woman's oxytocin levels, therefore lowering her stress - John has a bunch of tips for women to raise their oxytocin levels without men as well!

  2. Ask a man for help around the house. Men's testosterone levels go up when they feel like they've achieved something. That in turn lowers their stress. Especially when you thank them!

  3. Just remember that a man needs his cave time too, so don't be offended if after he's listened to you, he wants to go off and watch TV and be alone. This activity raises his testosterone levels and makes him a much more pleasant person to be around.

  4. See your relationship as a place of refuge from stress and not the reason for stress. By keeping your perspective and doing one thing a day for your partner, you may end up being pleasantly surprised! Men: don't feel embarassed about leaving a note for your wife to say you love her or complimenting her on a new outfit. Women: don't be frightened to praise the man in your life. He'll reward you for it!
