Turkey moments in a relationship
I love Thanksgiving. It’s hands down my favorite holiday of the year.
Naturally, when the name of the day has the word ‘thanks’ in it we gravitate towards reflecting on all the things and people we’re thankful for in our lives. (This is a great post by Nashville wedding planner Emily Humphries of Simply Yours on what she’s thankful for this year.)
I would like to steer us in a different direction this year… towards the Turkey.The official slang definition of turkey is “a person considered inept or undesirable“.
It’s easy to spend the majority of the year focusing on how our spouse has been a Turkey. Like, when he forgets to take the trash to the corner 2 weeks in a row. Or when she insists you take out the trash right when the Indianapolis Colts make yet another amazing comeback against the Patriots.
Every couple has had their fair share of Turkey moments. Take some time to laugh about these moments and say sorry for the times you were a turkey. Most importantly, remind your partner of all the times they were NOT a turkey this year, times you were really proud or THANKFUL to have him/her in your life. And at the end of the day, remember you made it through past Turkey behavior and will surely make it through future Turkey moments as well!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
