When Stress and Intimacy Collide

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how much stress can affect intimacy in relationships. It’s not just physical, it can change how you communicate, how you see yourself, and how close you feel to your partner.

Have you ever gone through a time when stress made intimacy harder to maintain? How did you and your partner handle it? Did it bring you closer in the long run, or push you apart for a while?

I’d love to hear how others have navigated that balance between keeping your connection strong while dealing with life’s pressures.
