Read More »When it comes to relationships, even happy and healthy relationships, stress is just part of the equation. Not just because it can sometimes be stressful to put in the necessary amount of effort to keep your relationship strong and on track, but the outside world can also take its toll on your relationship. It's hard not to carry home with you, at night, the stresses you've encountered throughout the day. For their most recent survey, The Happiness Index, eHarmony commissioned Harris Interactive to do some research on happiness in relationships. The 2,084 respondents, 18 years of age and older, were asked not just about what in their relationships made them happy (or not happy), but what things caused the most stress in their life. The answers, of course, ran the gamut. While some stresses in life are unavoidable, especially stress related to money, which is always a big source of concern in relationships, there are ways in which people can deal with these stresses, starting with communication. “Communicating with your [partner] can simply mean to just listen," author and relationship expert Alexis Nicole White tells Bustle. "Be attentive, by demonstrating that you have heard what they’ve said by doing something to signal to them that you have heard them. If something is bothering them, do something to correct that irritation in their lives.” But even if you and your partner have communication down to a science, it doesn't change the fact that stress exists for many couples. Here are the top 15 things that cause stress in relationships, according to eHarmony's findings. 1 Politics Andrew Zaeh for Bustle In such a politically-charged environment, it can’t be much of a surprise that arguments about politics can cause relationship stress. Even if you’re on the same team, it’s still hard not to let the stress from it affect you and your relationship. Because of this, for five percent of the couples surveyed, politics caused the most stress in their relationship. 2 Infidelity Andrew Zaeh for Bustle Well, if one partner — or both — strays, then of course we’re looking at some relationship stress to follow. For six percent of couples, it was infidelity that caused such turmoil and stress. 3 Premature Ejaculation Andrew Zaeh for Bustle I’m a bit surprised to find this one on the list, but for seven percent of those surveyed, premature ejaculation was enough of an issue to cause relationship stress. Although, I imagine, with the right sex therapist and practicing certain techniques, this one, while it might not be completely solved, can at least be worked on for the sake of the relationship.

This leads me to believe that, perhaps, these aren’t couples who are watching it together. 5 After A Baby Is Born Fotolia There’s definitely no denying that having a baby can totally take a toll on a relationship, especially with all those sleepless nights and an immediate shift in priorities. So, taking that into consideration, for eight percent of those surveyed — tying with porn — a new baby is a big relationship stress inducer. 6 Inability To Achieve An Orgasm Andrew Zaeh for Bustle While 11 percent cite a failure to orgasm as something that causes stress in their relationship, it should be noted that you don't have to have a climax to have a fulfilling sex life. 7 Disagreement About Kids Andrew Zaeh for Bustle Twelve percent of those surveyed pointed to the kiddos as their main source of stress. 8 Erectile Dysfunction Andrew Zaeh for Bustle Although we do live in a Viagra world, 15 percent reported that their relationship stress was due to erectile dysfunction. 9 Boring Sex Andrew Zaeh for Bustle For 15 percent of people, boring sex was the source of relationship stress. Luckily, there is a cure for boring sex, but it will involve getting a little, well, creative, to say the least. 10 Health Problems Ashley Batz/Bustle Since we can’t all be in perfect health 24/7 forever and ever, health problems can take a toll at some point causing stress. At 16 percent, short-term health problems cause the most stress in a relationship and, at 18 percent, long-term health problems cause the most stress. 11 Morning Birds Vs. Night Owls Ashley Batz/Bustle For 20 percent of those surveyed, the real cause of stress in their relationship is when one partner is a morning person and one is a night person. Which, honestly, is really fascinating that such a thing could cause such a stress. Although, as a night owl, I guess dealing with us in the morning is probably stressful AF for those who are in bed by 10 p.m. every night.

No surprises here, for sure. Money, although a lot of fun when you have it, can be the bane of one’s existence when they don’t have it. 13 Sex Drive Issues Andrew Zaeh for Bustle For 28 percent of those surveyed, low libido and sex drive are cited as the top things that cause stress in a relationship. While low libido can be caused by a myriad of things, from medication, to health, to stress, to body insecurities, and about a dozen other things, there are ways in which this can be worked on with therapy and just getting to the source of the problem. 14 Being “Too Tired For Sex” Andrew Zaeh for Bustle For 33 percent, one partner saying they were too tired for sex, was the biggest source of relationship stress. If this is happening in your relationship and you think something else is up other than them being tired, your best bet is to have an open and honest conversation about it.
