What are the consequences of relationship problems?
There are many consequences to a relationship in distress. Relationship disharmony effects your enjoyment of life, and may impact on work, social and family functioning. It is associated with higher rates of depression, alcohol abuse, sexual dysfunction and even poorer physical health. Relationship conflict has been shown to lower immune function, and dangerously elevate blood pressure in some individuals. Finally, relationship difficulties may effect the behaviour of any children of the distressed couple. Increased behavioural problems are regularly observed in the children of couples in crisis. So the consequences of relationship problems are broad and serious. If you believe that your relationship is not fulfilling your needs dont delay seeking assistance.
