The holidays are here! For many couples, ‘tis is the season to compromise. Deciding where to be for the big holidays was one of the hardest conversations we had early in our relationship. There was some tears and there was some yelling, but we have learned that compromise is key. That’s why in this week’s episode we are digging a little deeper into that early conversation, sharing a few other ways we compromise, and providing a few tips for you to keep in mind the next time you are struggling to reach a compromise.
