Couple Care and Self Care for the Season

Take some moments each day together. Light a scented candle, and give a small gift to each other of a foot massage, a back rub, or a face to face listen of how things are going. Let the other sleep in, take a chore off their list. Have a glass of wine, an eggnog, or a cup of christmas tea, each of which acknowledges the specialness of the season. Take the time to acknowledge the specialness of each other and you as a couple. Watch out for the joy that the little things bring in this season. Appreciate what brings your partner joy and is important to them in  the season. Be glad with them, even though you may not share the same things that bring him or her joy. Take note of what you want to remember as special for this season. Go forth and be wonderful – I am cheering you on!
