It can get stressful and hectic at times which makes it hard. A lot of times we end of grumpy and taking things out on the ones we love. This time of year is also stressful due to the amount of money you have to spend on gifts and other Christmas things.

It’s better to not let the stress of the holiday season effect your marriage, but that’s difficult to do. Here are some tips for making the holiday season less stressful on your marriage.

2. Another way to handle the stress of the holidays is to spread it out of the month. This will help you to prevent the last minute things that can make you feel overwhelmed.
