My husband seems stressed but says men should not complain. How can I help him?

Many men are raised to keep things in, but holding in stress does not make them strong; it quietly does harm. Do not force him to talk; open the door by being present and accepting him without judging. Give him room to open up in his own way, perhaps while driving or walking. Remind him that even the Companions of the Prophet wept and grieved, so opening up is not a sign of weakness. Suggest healthy activities such as exercise and meeting good friends. If the stress is affecting his sleep and work, encourage him to see a doctor. Your love and patience open the way. See communication & emotions.
