The holidays are coming and that means that families get together, sometimes happily and sometimes stress-fully.
Make your plans accordingly. If your marriage is not doing well, it might not be the best time to have a houseful of family and friends.
Don’t assume that because family and friends are present your marital issues can or will take a back seat. Things will only become more difficult with the stress of more people in your home.
Either because of the stress of the holidays or because couples wait until the holidays are over to file for divorce, divorce attorneys report a spike right after the holidays. That’s why if January 2nd falls on a weekday, the number of divorces filed skyrockets!
So please think about it before you put out the welcome mat.
