During the shorter, darker days of winter, the winter blues affect not just me, but my marriage. It’s bad enough when I struggle with winter blues, but since my husband also struggles with them, our marriage suffers a double whammy.
Over the years, I’ve learned ways to cope with the winter blues and even fight back with healthy methods. I’m sharing them today at A Wife Like Me. Here’s a peek at my post, and I hope you’ll head over to read the rest.
Winter Blues and Your Marriage
When the days get shorter and darker, do you notice that your marriage starts suffering?
Both my husband and I experience symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), which affects us in different ways throughout the winter months. Our moods seem to change along with the time change each year.
Until I was in my late thirties, I didn’t understand how SAD was impacting my life and marriage. My counselor listened to my symptoms and said SAD was likely the source of my winter blues. As I learned more about SAD, I recognized that my husband’s winter behavior also matched SAD symptoms.
These are the common signs of seasonal affective disorder that may be affecting your marriage…
Head over to A Wife Like Me to learn how to fight back when winter blues affect your marriage.
