This is the time of year that we make resolutions in all areas of our lives. We vow to lose weight, exercise, eat better, and quit smoking. We tend to start the new year working diligently at our resolutions and somehow they end up falling by the wayside.
I am writing today about using your New Year’s Resolutions to help create a more loving relationship. Here are a few ideas that you might choose to incorporate into your plans:
-
I will spend more time with my spouse. Quality time is very important to any relationship. You need to have time for just the two of you. That is why “date night” has become so popular in our culture. Get a babysitter and spend time alone rediscovering why you love each other.
-
I will be responsible for my own sexual desire. It can be very frustrating to be in a relationship when your sex drives differ. It is important to take charge of your own sexual desire. What turns you on? Is it thinking sexy thoughts to get you in the mood, reading steamy novels, or watching erotic films? Do the things that make you feel sexy.
-
I will treat my partner with respect. I bet you think that you already do. I want you to take a deeper look at the way you talk to your partner. Do you put him down? Do you subtly tell her that you don’t believe in what she wants to do? Do you laugh when he shares his dreams? These are all ways of disrespecting your partner. Turn it around and be his biggest fan and supporter.
-
I will put my relationship first. Love needs to be nurtured. Your lover needs to feel special. When you have a choice to make, choose love. Make sure your partner feels loved.
There are many more ideas for relationship resolutions. These were just a few for you to consider. Feel free to add your own. Happy New Year!
