The holidays can cause stress in marriages whether you are newlyweds or have been married for more than 30 years – marriage counseling at Take Charge, Inc. can help you, as a couple, thrive during the holidays when money, family members and traveling can be major stressors on your marriage.

Couples often fight over money and budgeting. The holidays can cause an excessive amount of stress about money. One way to forgo the stress and fighting is to sit down together and write up how much you are willing to spend on gifts, decorations and more.

There is a lot of pressure to get your children all the presents they want, but parents should remember that money doesn’t equal memories. Instead of blowing your budget, your family can volunteer at community events or choose a family in need and give to them. When couples can’t agree on money and budgeting, or it’s causing a lot of stress, marriage counseling with Terri Clinton Dichiser, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas and Missouri,

How many times have you sat in an airport during the holiday season and thought, “What was I thinking?” Traveling during the busiest time of the year can bring out the worst in you both. An expert on expatriate families, Julia Simens, knows just how to handle holiday travel. She asserts that “Spending money on a hotel room is often money well spent.” She says that “Even if the family home has plenty of space, it is a good idea to build in some personal space to save the holiday. Stay in a hotel to get over jet lag or to have a quiet place to go to during the long all-day event.”
