Making the transition from a simple relationship to a life based on marriage, family values and future plans requires both partners to change their lifestyle and sense of priorities in general. This new family life can unfortunately be accompanied by a lot of women's stress and anxiety, for which there is often a tendency to point out the education of children. Studies have highlighted a cause previously ignored by all.
A wonderful wife, an outstanding cook and a caring mother are just a few of the many characteristics that a woman can possess during a conjugal life. With all the chaos that children can cause, it is not surprising that women experience the effects of stress in the natural way of mother / wife.
But what about the husband? Is it possible for the husband to introduce more stress into his wife's life? In today's society, more and more women feel as if they have no choice but to become a parent of their partner rather than rely on them.
What would it be worth? The reality of maternal stress in numbers
Many women are forced to play several roles in their family: chief, teacher, doctor, housekeeper, etc. There are even some who plan the programs or events within the couple. Even if they really act as superwomen, they are unfortunately not and eventually end up running out of steam. This has the effect of affecting the tasks they perform outside the house.
In order to properly investigate this situation, a survey was conducted and questioned more than 7,000 mothers. The results showed that, on average, the mother estimates her stress level at 8.5 out of 10. In addition, 46% of the women surveyed said that their husbands caused them more stress than their children. What the researchers also deduced from the survey is that 3 out of 4 moms with a partner reported doing most of the parenting and domestic chores.
1 in 5 mothers also said that not having enough help from their spouse was a huge source of daily stress. They also complained about not having enough time in the day to do everything that needs to be done. What is even more troubling is that researchers have recently discovered that it affects the health of each partner over time. A study conducted by the University of Padua revealed that if the woman dies and the husband takes responsibility, his health deteriorates. Whereas in the opposite case, if the husband dies, the woman finds herself in better health.
Solutions to adopt
The first step in solving this problem is to discuss it with your spouse. It might be helpful to try to make a list that would allow you to split the tasks and explain that the breakdown of the tasks will reduce stress in your life. Men actually like to have a say in domestic affairs, they also want to be the best husbands and fathers they can be. Sometimes it's just the wife / mother who just does not trust the husband to do the job, so she takes care of it for him.
The best way for a mother to ease her responsibilities is to trust her husband. The two spouses are actually the same team and are in the same boat, so it is absolutely essential that they trust each other. It also gives the woman an opportunity to relax and take time for herself. If that means that the father will have to take over and make the obstacle course with the children, so be it!
