Instead of saying, ‘new year, new me’ how about you say, ‘new year, new us’? Every year we all try to come up with interesting resolutions for the year, so why not seek your partner’s help this time? Whether you just got into a relationship or your 10-year anniversary is coming, it’s never too early (or too late). There are many fun and meaningful resolution you can make with your partner this new year. It will make your 2022 extra romantic for sure.
Put Down The Phone
Sure, this sounds like the easiest of the promises, but trust us it is going to be the toughest. Social media has given us all an inherent sense of FOMO which makes it hard to just live in the moment. While it is not possible to go cold turkey on your phones, try to avoid using them when you step out with your bae or have meals together. Another interesting thing to do is have a phone-free hour, which will help you have a conversation without any disturbance.
No More Passive-Aggressive Fights
NGL, most of us are guilty of not communicating our needs to our partners (I know I am) and instead we choose to indulge in passive-aggressive behaviour. So, this new year why not make honesty your go-to move. Instead of waiting for your partner to decode your not-so-subtle hints, just take charge and speak your mind.
Plan New Things With Each Other
Just remember to keep the spark alive. Every month you two can put aside some amount for a new adventure. It doesn’t have to be totally extra but just something you two would enjoy. Here are a few things you can do every month— taking a pottery workshop, travelling together or trying karaoke. Honestly, the sky is the limit with this one.
Exploring The Love Language
Everyone has a different love language and there are a number of tests and quizzes that can help you to figure out what works for your partner and for you. Knowing this will help you to understand your partner better and make your relationship healthier fosho.
Give Each Other Space
We often lose ourselves in relationships, but that can actually harm our self-growth. Every once in a while try to do something for yourself, be it a massage treatment, reading a book, or simply catching up with a girlfriend. Make sure you give the same space to your partner.
Get A Little Kinky
Why not start the new year with a bang, literally? Jump into the bed and explore your kinks with your partner this year. There are so many fun things you can try, including experimenting with sex toys.
So which of these resolutions are you planning to make with your bae?
