Every time you utter the words New Year, there’s a bell ringing at the back of your head reminding of all the resolutions you made last year that you didn’t stick to. While most resolutions are about changing your lifestyle, what we often forget is what changes we must try to add to our relationships.
This year, think of the relationship resolutions you must take for the new year. Think about all the things that bothered you, made you happy and worked or didn’t work for the relationship and then try to make a difference in the coming year.
Here are a few things you may need to think about in relationship resolutions:

After all, the new year is all about new beginnings.

One of the biggest challenges that the corporate life poses us today is having a good work-life balance. While stress is inevitable, don’t let that affect your sex lives.

Think about what you have missed out on this year in your relationship and make resolutions to avoid that!
