New Year, New Marriage: 12 marital resolutions worth keeping
1. I will hug my spouse at least once a day.
2. I will thank my spouse at least once a day.
3. I will get down and dirty with my spouse at least once a week.
4. When I am mad at my spouse, I will tell him. I will not make him guess.
5. When I want my spouse to do something, I will ask rather than pray for divine intervention.
6. I will accept that which my spouse cannot change and, possibly, even learn to find it endearing.
7. I will remember his birthday.
8. I will, every once in a while, let him sit in the recliner, even if I had it first.
9. I will seduce him once a month.
10. I will watch BBC’s Top Gear with him on multiple occasions. I will not allow myself to appear bored, and I will not suggest we watch a Law & Order rerun instead.
11. When my spouse is mad at me, I will apologize rather than try to talk him out of feeling mad.
12. I will let him sleep in every once in a while, and I will cook him bacon while he is sleeping.

My marriage resolution is to seek therapy so that I’m better equipped to handle things about my marriage that I cannot change.

While I’ll still pray for divine intervention, I’m especially partial to the bacon suggestion.

I would add: I resolve not to lose myself and what I need in the midst of all the ‘doing’ for him.

Well, except for the bacon, I already do all these things. Maybe if he did any of them for me, we would be in better shape. I think it all boils down to being considerate and thoughtful. I guess, along with Erin, I’ll be seeking therapy too. Maybe I can even get him to go with me.

These are great!
I would substitute #10 to read: I will not roll my eyes when he tries to tell me what just happened on Star Wars, which he’s seen and told me about eleventy-katrillion times

I will get down and dirty with my spouse once a week. Since having a baby it’s been very hard for me to have sex again. My husband had been very patient and after communicated what I need in order for me to feel sexy again or remember my womenly side he did (and still doing) exactly what I need. So it’s only fair that I get down once a week, right. I think so.
