According to Dr. Patty Ann, holiday stress can sometimes be too much for couples to handle. But there are things couples can do to prevent a relationship break up, including taking a time out from each other, looking in the mirror, tackling issues creating conflict, prioritizing the relationship and acting now.

"If your partner has just told you they want to break up - or if you feel this way - take a time out from each other to gather your thoughts," says Dr. Patty Ann. "During this time, try to remember why you fell in love with your partner in the first place and focus on the positive aspects of your partner and your relationship."

In the article, Dr. Patty Ann details five the relationship tools and why they are important. She stresses that conflict in a relationship cannot be ignored or swept under the rug.

"Ignored conflict is like an untreated wound: it may end up infected, leading to more serious complications," Dr. Patty Ann explains. "Doing nothing ensures nothing in your relationship will change. Small steps add up and will lay the foundation for a make up instead of a break up."
