This time (January 2010), it was the reader who responded to the query "What will you do differently this year" with a very Happy Couplesque statement: "I'm going to put my husband first."
She explains: "We each work two jobs and have a family, volunteer and social commitments, so we're exhausted at the end of the day. He deserves the best of me - not what's left over after I'm done with everything else."
Our spouses DO deserve the best of us. The first of us. The most of us. She's so smart, isn't she?!
I'm going to follow her lead and try to put my hubby first. It wont' be easy and I'm not one to make New Year resolutions (more inclined toward moment to moment resolutions since those give me greater odds at succeeding!) But today ... and the next 364 days ... I'm going to resolve to put my spouse of 18 years (and 18 days, to be exact) before everything else.
Wish me luck.
How about you? Want to try too?
Happy(Couple) New Year.

Last year my partner and I resolved to end 2009 better than how we started it. 2008 was difficult for us, and the first half of 2009 wasn't looking much better, but we kept trying and ultimately succeeded. 2009 is ending on a very high note for us in terms of our strength as a couple and our commitment to each other. We are taking on the same resolution again this year--to end the year better than how we start. To grow together, learn more about each other and to try and strengthen our relationship even more as the years go on... and we hope there will be many more to come!
