Discussing boundaries with your partner prior to family gatherings can ensure that you’re on the same page and allow you to show up for your partner when they’re in a difficult situation. Set realistic expectations Discussing expectations with your partner prior to holiday gatherings can help align and manage your hopes.

  4. Prioritize open communication Starting the holiday season with an open conversation surrounding hopes, concerns, and expectations can lay the foundation for supportive action during family gatherings. Understanding what your partner needs from you can help you show up in the most beneficial way. Lean into the positive Encourage your partner to focus on parts of their family and the holidays that bring them joy. Working to stay away from challenging topics during family gatherings can help to keep conversations light hearted.
