Irish couples most likely to fall out on Christmas morning

Irish couples are most likely to fall out between 11am and noon on Christmas Day, according to leading relationship therapists.

Parents are at their most stressed then because they feel exhausted and are likely to be juggling the dinner preparation , entertaining visiting family members and attempting to assemble their children’s new toys.

Tony Moore, a counsellor with Relationships Ireland, said the period from Christmas Eve to St Stephen’s Day is the most testing period for married couples.
