Personal Factors: that can cause stress include personality characteristics and coping skills, expectations that one has from family and oneself, understanding with spouse, emotional attachment, feeling of guilt for not being able to spend time at home, eating and sleeping habits and rigidity. If your income cannot support your family, your job prospects are low or if you have sudden expenses, you could be under stress due to economic reasons.
Situational factors: over which you may have no control, such as deaths or births, divorce, altercation with neighbors, illness or retirement, financial loss, or unsuccessful completion of daily activities could all lead to domestic stress.
Your personality: can also determine how stress prone you are. If you are constantly worried about what will happen and what could happen, there will be no end to your stress. Another factor that adds to your stress is your belief systems. These affect your personality directly. Beliefs are what you have acquired from your family and society and these affect your characteristics, behaviour and thoughts.
