While cleaning out my e-mail-box I came across this list. Yes, chronologically, it works better for New Years then Thanksgiving but this is good advice at any time of the year. So, please consider these resolutions for a happy marriage.
1. Resolve to clean-out the clutter. When you clean up your house you are honoring your home - the temple for your relationship.
2. Resolve to have the difficult conversations. Talk to each other. And, if that's too hard, write each other letters.
3. Resolve to live within your means and clean-up your credit. You already know which one of you is "the saver" and which is "the spender." Put "the saver" in charge of all funds. You may need three accounts - yours, mine and a joint account to insure that everyone is comfortable with the arrangement.
4. Resolve to put each other first - before your kids, parents, friends, or jobs.
5. Resolve to work together as a team. Marriage works best when the partners don't see things in terms of win-lose against each other. A sports team is most successful when everyone pulls together for the common good - so is a marriage.
