When my husband and I are stressed, we get on each other's nerves and snap and then it goes downhill from there.

He is working FT and I'm a part time student and will be working soon, too. It doesn't leave a lot of time for us to be together anymore during the week and it places a strain on how we can get things done. I'm home now, and it's easy for me to get cleaning done, grocery shopping, errands, laundry, cooking, etc. When I start working again, we'll divide those duties but what sucks is some of them will spill over into the weekend. Our weekends are our down time where we can spend time together and I'll have homework!

Whenever I'm in school, we get stressed out and it gets bad. I want to do things differently this time. I'd like to get some ideas on how to reduce the stress, have more patience with each other, and maximize our time to get tasks done and spend quality time together.
