If your partner is flustered over the holiday rush, listen with empathy, without judgement and without giving advice. Show interest in his or her day. Let your partner know “we’re in this together.”
Learn how your partner celebrated the holidays as a child. What are your partner’s best holiday memories? Find a way to honor that childhood tradition. Share your own childhood traditions. Create new, hybrid rituals for your family.
Get organized and plan a specific date just for the two of you. Put the event on your calendar and make it a priority. Having a plan also makes it more likely that the date will happen.
