New Year's Resolutions for Couples

I don’t know that there is anything more hopeful than the January calendar page. So clean. So fresh. So full of possibilities.

During the last session of premarital counseling, the couple creates goals for their first year of marriage. Much like a new year, anniversaries in a relationship are wonderful times to reflect on the past and plan for what they want in the next year.

Therapist Note: In the past it was common for couples to work together towards a common goal, like running a farm or business. Modern couples often miss out on the team-building that common goals provide because we’re so busy leading our own lives. Common goals are great reminders that marriage is a team effort and that both of you are necessary.

Maybe you don’t want to wait until your next anniversary to start improving your life or relationship, though. Maybe you want to take advantage of that nice, clean page of the calendar. Maybe I can help.
