Thank you for joining us and welcome to Episode 87 of the Couples Expert Podcast!

In this week’s episode Stuart talks about having healthy relationships during Thanksgiving; How we can learn to be appreciative and thankful for those people that make our life richer and more full. Especially our life partners. These are the people that are always there for us in so many ways. We are very grateful for the love in our lives and we can make this Thanksgiving holiday the best we’ve ever had with our partners.

Stuart reminds us of the paradox of thankfulness; of how when you begin to appreciate the good things in your life, you are able to find more to be thankful for.  If we get into a habit of looking for those things to be grateful for, it really becomes an “attitude of gratitude” which makes life better.

Stuart discusses how the travel and obligations of the holidays can cause anxiety and stress but whether you’re cooking for a crowd, stuck at the airport or having a quiet intimate get together with immediate family, it all depends on how you see it. If you spend quality time focused on your relationship with your partner, you can have a great time connecting together. Make a commitment to each other and determine to make the holiday about connecting with each other and your children. Avoid letting the little things getting you down, make it special and meaningful and make some great memories.
