New Year's Resolution as a Couple
2017-12-12

As the year is about to come to a close, many of us will start making our lists of New Year's resolutions for 2018. While most resolutions tend to become fruitless, those made with a partner can especially help you in sticking to your promises. For upcoming year, strengthen your bond as a couple with these simple yet meaningful resolutions to keep you both going all year long!

Do good together

Sometimes, after being together for so long, you tend to forget those around you. Make it both you and your partner’s goal to give back to the community through volunteering work at organisations that need an extra pair of hands. Not only will you both be making an impact on other people’s lives, it will also strengthen the bond you have with your spouse.

Prioritise intimacy with each other

Face it, after a while we all get comfortable and start pushing things like intimacy to the side because our schedules make us too “busy” for each other. Make an effort to reconnect with your partner by going on staycations or incorporating new tricks in the bedroom to spice things up.

Workout as a team

Most of us make it a point every year to shed some weight. Instead of doing it alone, bring your partner along as your workout buddy to help you keep motivated and fit. Not only does working out do good for both you and your significant other’s health, but it also gets the blood pumping in places to get you both feeling hot and heavy for each other.

Eat healthily together

When you’ve reached a certain level of comfort with your partner, sometimes our inner fat kid comes out more than too often. Instead of ordering in while watching the latest season of your favourite series, make it a point to spend time in the kitchen with your partner by prepping and cooking healthy meals together. Not only is cooking your food at home better for your health, it also saves up a lot of cash that you can both use on something you’d enjoy experiencing.

Be emotionally honest with one another

After a while, it is common to become afraid to voice out our emotions because we don’t want to hurt the other’s feelings. For the upcoming new year, share with your partner things that you have been holding back for a while and encourage them to do the same with you. Not only will both of you feel good after letting each other know what’s been on your minds, it also develops a deeper bond between the two of you.

Listen to each other

We’re all guilty of aimlessly nodding at things when we don’t even know what the other person is talking about. Start paying attention to your partners and what they have to say; you’d be surprised that the things that are bothering them the most are the easiest things to solve if you just listened closely to what they are trying to tell you.

Say no to bad habits together

All of us have our guilty pleasures, and stopping them can be a very hard task especially when you’re on your own. Instead of going solo this coming year, invite your partner along on the journey by becoming each other’s cheerleaders to break the habit. Create realistic goals together and look out for each other.
