Couples - NOW is the time to start chatting about alllll those holiday details! Things like: Gift-buying budgets, which events you’ll attend (or skip for a night in!), and the family traditions that are most important to you both.
It's so common for these thoughts to constantly swirl in one partner's mind, while their spouse won't touch them with a ten foot pole! This is a dynamic I see so often in couples.
If you’re the partner who tends to avoid these conversations (we’ve all been there!), maybe this is the year to lean in. Sit down with your spouse, smile, and say, “Let’s figure this out.” ❤️✨
You know these decisions bring YOU stress, so imagine your partner navigating them all alone. Showing up with enthusiasm and teamwork might just be the best gift you give them this holiday season. This yearly struggle can be a lovely little moment. 🎁
