The Holidays can be a wonderful time with family, friends, and in your relationship, but it can also be a time of stress and friction. For many of us in relationships, the holidays can add a lot of tension with the amount of plans we have, traveling we'll do, and expectations for each other. So how can we get through that in a way that really limits the stress, and instead feel like we're on the same team?
In this episode we talk about common difficulties and sticking points that couples have, and what you can do about them. If you're willing to have some conversations ahead of time, I believe that it will give you a much more solid foundation to work off of together.
