Most definitely. Whether the stress is external, i.e., work related, or internal, i.e., marital or parental, it will definitely affect marital passion.
Let's face it. By the time most of us have put the kids to bed, cleaned the kitchen, paid the bills, returned the phone calls and watered the plants, the only thing we feel passionate about is sleep. At best, we engage in obligatory, unsatisfactory sexual contact. More likely, nothing at all - a rather gloomy picture of marital life.
So what's the answer?
Try a bit of common sense, a healthy dose of understanding and a genuine desire to give.
First, it's important for both partners to have reasonable expectations. You can't ignite passion with a flick of a switch, and passion rarely accompanies each and every sexual encounter. Marital passion doesn't burst forth on demand. It doesn't come because you want it. It's what happens when there is a genuine desire to give to one another.
PEOPLE WHO FEEL LOVED RESPOND WITH LOVE. One who is willing to give his or her more exhausted or stressed out partner a massage or some other form of loving, non-sexual contact will be storing up passion points for that quiet Sunday morning when the kids are gone, the dishes are done and the pressure is off.

If people work too many hours are too tired to get it on, but for the most part coming home is relaxing, and invites the mood. I think it's truly home stress that gets to people. The people with little kids are never getting any BEFORE they're tired!

Of course it is. Stress is probably the worst thing in a relationship or marriage. Take a vacation or a break away from work to help restore some peace!

It can be. With 2 careers, 3 kids and 4 animals. My husband and I have to make an extra effort to keep our love life alive and good. So we make plans and make time for it. We also take mini weekend vacations just by ourselves.
