Are you and your partner spending the holiday season arguing about money, gifts and ornament placement? You’re not alone. To avoid wanting to strangle your loved one with a strand of popcorn this season, the December issue of Women’s Health has compiled these helpful hints:

¢ Unequal funds? If one partner is lighter in the wallet, try setting a price limit.

¢ Giving joint gifts? Putting both of your names on a gift tag is a big step in any relationship. Don’t give together unless you’re going to stay together.

¢ Shopping for the gifts he’s supposed to give? More often than not, women do the holiday shopping for their boyfriends or husbands. To avoid this, try organizing a joint trip to the mall. If that doesn’t work, leave him a shopping list.
