Recession Doesn’t Ruin The Rise of Love

What’s worse for a couple than facing a hard economic downturn?
It seems what is worse is facing said downturn alone.
Marty Babits, LCSW, BCD, says: “Too often people have difficulty communicating, usually because they don’t yet have the skills, which can definitely be learned and sustained through good times or bad.” Babits is the author of The Power of the Middle Ground: A Couple’s Guide to Renewing Your Relationships (Prometheus Books, 2009). “We’ve learned over the years that love alone isn’t enough to repair the wear and tear that occurs in relationships, solid communication rebuilds love and trust.”
So, I must ask…in this age of great economic uncertainty…how is the recession hurting (or helping?) your love life?
