How COVID-19 is Affecting Our Relationships and How to Manage It Right with David Stewart

COVID-19 bared its fangs not only on our economy but also on our relationships. 

Dealing with our usual routines is already a handful for some and with COVID-19 added into the mix, it should come as no surprise when couples and families are struggling with keeping their relationships together. Dealing with it can make or break a relationship.

With many of us stuck inside our homes, managing stress can be quite a challenge. There are no distractions to help us cope with our problems. 

How can we manage our relationships and stress so we don’t end up creating decisions we’ll regret later on?

Join me in this special episode as Dr. David Stewart returns to talk about the status of couples and kids during this COVID-19 pandemic with me and my lovely wife, Maricela.
