Change the way you argue
No matter how healthy or ideal your relationship may seem, no relationship is perfect, and arguments will happen. However, going into the new year, you can strive to argue in a healthier way. If you have a habit of yelling or being stubborn during arguments or serious discussions with your partner, work on your language and how you talk to them.
Acknowledge your partner’s feelings while expressing your own, approach each argument with empathy, and work more toward solving your issues with your partner rather than trying to be right or “win.”
Plan a trip
If you’ve been living with your partner for a while and found yourselves getting stressed toward the end of the year, you should set a goal to go on a fun trip together in 2024. You don’t have to book a week-long vacation at a five-star resort on a fancy island! A simple weekend trip to get you out of town and experience something new together will do.
Express your gratitude
When you feel gratitude or appreciation for your partner, let them know. Life is too short to suppress how you feel and not tell someone how much you love them or how thankful you are for them. Acknowledge and thank your partner anytime they do something for you, whether it be a massive favor or something as simple as cooking your dinner.
When you start expressing more gratitude for your partner, they’ll likely reciprocate, making your relationship more harmonious than ever.
Any of these relationship resolutions will make great improvements in your relationships for the new year. As long as you go into it with an open heart and positive mind, you’ll be okay! Happy New Year!
