Help your relationship survive and thrive during these holidays

Generational differences, multicultural families, changing gender roles, and competing relational development needs are human dynamics challenged by the holiday season. We feel the stress. Our relationship suffers. The questions we really need to answer are "How do we change the patterns?" and "How do I support my partner?"

The Relate team creates resources to help couples create great relationships. We utilize current relationship research, attachment theory, and neuroscience and train couples counselors in Presence Oriented Relationship Therapy (PORT). The basics of PORT are used in this book to help couples improve communication, and connection, and build excitement during the holidays. This book is written for easy reading by busy couples and skills that are easily implemented.

In this light-hearted, but straightforward skills book for couples, Dan will use examples to help you understand how you can utilize the same theories we teach professionals - but easily implemented by you and your partner during the holidays.

The fact is that relationships take work. For most of us, relationships don’t come naturally and problems are not going to magically disappear. If you’re committed to your partner and you want to build an awesome relationship, you'll be able to better respond to whatever chaos the holiday season throws at you with this guide.

Wishing you a happy holiday season and many years of love and happiness!
