Navigating Holiday Stress as a Couple
The holidays can bring joy, but they can also add pressure to your relationship!
Here are things you and your partner can do to stay connected and reduce stress during this holiday season:
Communicate Expectations: Share your holiday plans and priorities early to avoid misunderstandings.
Divide Responsibilities: Work as a team to tackle tasks like shopping, cooking, or hosting.
Schedule Downtime: Set aside time for just the two of you to unwind and reconnect.
Practice Gratitude Together: Reflect on what you appreciate about each other and the season.
Set Boundaries: Respect each other's needs when it comes to social gatherings and family commitments.
Therapy can help you navigate these challenges and strengthen your relationship. Visit Therapy with Jolene to learn more about support for couples.
