Re: Re: holiday posts
I don't really fault him either. I think, rather than it being an issue of immaturity, this issue gets pushed to the backburner. When thinking about taking the next step in a relationship, people think about religious compatibility, parenting styles, family/career planning, etc. I don't think "handling the holidays" is something that's really a major discussion unless it's an interfaith marriage.
That being said, it certainly should be discussed at some point, and I agree that if people can't sit down and work out the issue, then that doesn't bode well for their marriage. I'm just surprised the minister's premarital counseling is so in depth, that it covers the big issues above, and gets so far as to consider the holidays. It's practical, but surprising.
I was not a part of this site last year but I was really surprised at how many people have this question and how many boards I have seen it on; the holiday board, relationships, family matters everywhere. LMAO
I know this year will be somewhat easy my husband is Jewish and I am Catholic we went to Chicago for the Jewish high holidays and now we will go to Chicago for Christmas.
i just hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.
So my DH and I had this exact fight last night. His mom wanted to know what our holiday plans are, so we (my DH and I) sat down and came to a compromise. He talks to his mom and all of a sudden our plans aren't good enough. We were planning on seeing one family Christmas Eve and one Christmas day, alternating years. Christmas morning was going to be at our place with just us and kids when they come along. That is super important to me. He agrees that we need to stick with what we decided, but is afraid of hurting his family's feelings. He is the first of his siblings to get married and his siblings chirp in with his mom. They have no problem whipping out the guilt card and it works every time.
And I have to see them this weekend and try to have a good time...
