'Til Stress Do Us Part: How to Heal the #1 Issue in Our Relationships
Elizabeth Earnshaw
About the book
Elizabeth Earnshaw, a licensed marriage and family therapist and a well-known voice on relationships, argues in this book that most problems in romantic partnerships don’t come from a lack of love or poor communication, but from accumulated, unrecognized stress that couples fail to process together. Drawing on attachment theory research and her clinical experience, she offers concrete tools couples can use to recognize how stress shapes their fights and distancing, and how to become a team that solves problems together instead of blaming each other. The book combines therapeutic insight with practical exercises for couples at any stage of a relationship. Published in 2024, it quickly became one of the most widely read books on relationships and coping with everyday stress as a couple.
