Women, wives go through a lot of
stress while trying to balance the pressure of work and managing the home
front. A lot of women actually find it hard to relax due to stressful
conditions under which they work, and affect their health and overall
productivity.
The way to solve this is for
woman to enhance their oxytocin production. Oxytocin is a hormone which helps to
reduce stress in a woman’s life so they can have more time to relax:
Here are three things men can do to promote the
production of oxytocin in their wives:
OFFER TO HELP:
Women often feel as if they have to do everything by themselves. When you offer
to help, this reduces that pressure, and she can feel as if you are her back-up
system and support. This helps her oxytocin levels rise, and she feels less
stress and gains more energy in order to do all the things she needs to do.
DISPLAY AFFECTION:
Another way to stimulate oxytocin is through displaying affection. Hug her
every chance you get - in the morning, when you leave each other, before bed.
Men think if she wants a hug, she can come get one - but this does not
stimulate the hormone. A woman hugging a man does not cause the man to feel
more relaxed, because men do not need oxytocin; they need testosterone to
relax. When you display affection to a woman, it can help her relax and gain
more energy.
COMMUNICATE:
Another thing that stimulates oxytocin is communication. Showing interest,
asking questions, trying to understand a problem rather than solve it can all
help. Men often try to solve problems as quickly as possible and then take a
nap because of their testosterone - but it doesn’t work this way for women.
Often, the best thing for men to do is just listen, and because her hormones
are rising, she’ll feel more energy and feel better about the situation.
The answer to helping
couples balance this evolving role of work and relationships all comes down to
understanding the science behind managing stress. Once couples can reduce the
amount of stress in their lives, they then have the energy to come up with a
system that works effectively for them both.
Lazy Husband; Hard Working Wife…
As a woman, have you
ever felt resentment towards your spouse because you think he is lazy and
leaves you to do all the work at home? Do you feel he isn’t responsible? You
work just like he does, but he wants you to still take care of the house and
the kids. Why is this so?
While filming the movie
LoveTalk, John Gray, author of Men are from Mars, Women are from
Venus, explained the science behind what causes so many working couples to
struggle with the evolving roles of men and women.
For thousands of years,
men acted as the providers while women took on the role of the nurturers. Men
went to work, while women took on the tasks of taking care of the home and
children. Today everything is completely different and couples face a new
challenge: balancing both women and men in the workplace.
The woman spends most
of her day at work, but when she comes home she has housework and children to
tend to - resulting in a lot of pressure to take on all of the
responsibilities.
Women have a “never
ending to-do list” and so when she finds her husband coming home after a long
day of work to come home and sit on the couch to stare blankly at the TV while
she has so many responsibilities to do, a lot of resentment can build up.
The biggest problem is
nobody knows how to deal with this - women think that men should act more like
women, and men can even attempt to adopt more of the woman’s roles, but what
results is both people becoming overwhelmed and exhausted.
According to John Gray,
there are three elements that men need to do to help achieve this balance
between work and home - and there’s actually quite a lot of science behind it.
When women are stressed
out, they cannot burn fat, which the body uses for energy and fuel. To feel
less stressed, women need an abundant supply of the hormone oxytocin. Men,
because of their bodies being made up of more muscle, do not have this; instead
they need testosterone, which they can build up by resting and relaxing.
To help couples balance
work and their relationship more effectively, both people need the things that
stimulate their hormones and help them achieve more with less stress.

I'm amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that's both educative and
ReplyDeleteinteresting, and without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head.
The problem is an issue that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I'm very happy that I found this during my hunt for
something concerning this.
