Research has begun exploring the impact screen use has on relationships.

Significant time spent on screens can lead to relationship problems like decreased communication and intimacy.

One of the best ways to limit the negative effects of screen time and social media is to create shared activities that don't involve screens. This could be anything from going for a walk together, cooking dinner together, to playing a board game.

The important thing is that you're spending time together without being distracted by screens. This will help you stay connected and strengthen your relationship.

The stress of the holiday season can take it's toll on any relationship.

One way you can reduce feelings of anxiety is to ask your partner how they feel during the holidays.

Don’t assume that your partner feels the same way you do about certain aspects of the holidays (gift-giving, hosting guests, etc.). Communicate with each other to make sure you are both on the same page.

Be considerate of how they may be experiencing the holidays and check in with them frequently to make sure they are enjoying their holidays.
