Well Tink, I haven't been married very long, only three years, and we don't have children so that probably means our stressors are much different than yours, but here they are:

1. Drama that we are caught between because of friends (we know a lot of newlyweds and so many of them are having problems...it's really stressful. We know two couples who are going through divorces right now. Sometimes we have different opinions about the best approach to take)
2. My emotions at times (sometimes I am overemotional and feel neglected or unloved when that is not his intention)
3. Hubby's forgetfulness at times (sometimes he forgets to do the things he says he will do like take out the trash, this contributes to #2)
