When life gets busy, the pressure tends to build. When we’re stressed we might not be our best selves and this can lead to pressure in our relationships and for underlying issues to become prevailing issues that lead to isolation. If you’re overwhelmed or under pressure right now, there’s HOPE.

Christmas can be a busy time of year and the idea is for it to be a season of celebration and joy, but it can easily turn into chaos and perhaps even resentment as we manage competing priorities and differing expectations. How do we make sure this upcoming holiday we have peace in our home?

Let's talk passing the pepper pot, thinking less about yourself and rather about how you can be of service to others - especially your spouse and children this festive season. We learn about practising gratitude, extending grace, going slow, giving space, swapping roles and managing conflict.

Celebrating life’s special moments are important. These memories build into the story of who we are as a couple or as a family. When we bring different backgrounds and family traditions with different expectations into our marriage, there’s bound to be competing priorities and we need to create our own traditions that incorporate the best of our backgrounds.
