Megan Markle is adapting to royal traditions. What are some ways to combine holiday traditions with your partner’s? Cupid has some advice!
Cupid’s Advice:
Adopting another person’s traditions can be hard, especially if you and your partner aren’t into the same things. It could be religious traditions that drive you nuts, or maybe your partner is a Scrooge, but transitioning from just your family’s holiday traditions to your S.O.’s is hard. Read Cupid’s advice to help you and your love have a stress-free holiday:
1. Be flexible: A consensus is ideal, but many times we have to compromise or make certain sacrifices. Plans can also be modified to accommodate both parties. Do what you can do, but remember to accept what you may not be able to change. Also, don’t forget to keep a positive mind!

2. Plan: Planning is essential. Planning is life (being a little dramatic, but for good reason). Start your planning ahead of time, and keep an open line of communication. Figure out what you both prefer and what you both are willing to compromise on.

3. Be patient and open-minded: It’s easier said than done, but during this integration process, you must be both patient and open-minded. Remember, that after all your planning and compromises, you will still have a magnificent holiday with the ones you love. Change does not equal a bad experience. Many times, change is good.
