ADLW Day #3: Relationship Resolutions

[image error]I know. It’s October and I am already talking about resolutions, right?. Well, here’s the skinny about resolutions; they don’t have to be tied in to the New Year. Most of us think we can only make promises to ourselves on January first, but the truth is, we can resolve to make our lives or the lives of others better any day of the year.

And, I am going to challenge you to make a relationship resolution. But, before you jump in with both feet all gun-ho, you need to realize that the folks who make New Year’s resolutions aren’t doing such a hot job. Half of them have thrown in the towel within a month and by year’s end only 8% of folks can keep their resolution. So, if you want to take on this challenge, you need to know a few things:

1) Write down the resolution. The act of writing it down solidifies it and makes it easier to achieve.

2) Make it attainable. Don’t make a resolution that is too far out of reach.

3) Be willing to be flexible. If you realize your resolution isn’t working, instead of giving up, just make a few tweaks and stick with it.

Now that you know how to keep a resolution, I want you to make one focused on your relationship, something you both can work on together to make things stroger foryou as a pair.

If you can make and keep a relationship resolution, you have a much better chance of avoiding a divorce lawyer down the road.
