Licensed therapist Mark Williams told Insider that exes must have an honest conversation about the problems in a relationship in order to not repeat those issues. Having an open and honest conversation helps show the couple's commitment to making things work.
In "A Country Christmas Harmony," Chrissy and Luke open the door to a romantic reunion after they address their breakup. She explains what led to her decisions to leave. They both acknowledge the past mistakes in their relationship and the door opens for a new beginning.
Dr. Chloe Carmichael, author and clinical psychologist, told Women's Health Magazine that a rule to getting back with an ex includes viewing the relationship as a new chapter in an old relationship. According to Carmichael, "it's really important to recognize that this is a rekindling of an old relationship, not the start of a new one."
Chrissy makes a big speech to Luke towards the end of the movie where she tells him, he's her past, present, and future. She doesn't erase their past but looks towards their future.
"A Country Christmas Harmony" premieres on Lifetime on November 18 at 8:00 pm EST.
