Resolutions Are for Losers

Top 10 I Would Stick to If They Weren't Lame

If resolutions weren't lame, then I would sit down and think about how I want my year to go and what I wanted to do better in, but the truth is resolutions are for losers. Does anyone even win with them? The number one people fail is to be healthy and lose weigh. No one, well, almost no one sticks to that one. Just like no one sticks to drinking less coffee, soda pop, or alcohol, eating less candy and sweets. Why does no one choose to love their partner more? Or to spend more time with family? Have more date nights with their spouse? Why not choose to be more romantic? Why not get more involved in your kids' events?

Someone said the other day they were making the resolution to have more sex. Of course, this was a man right? No, it actually was not. She said that she wanted more sex because that is the only way she feels attracted to and loved by her spouse. I asked why and she said that is the only time he touches her, the only time he kisses her. She feels wanted and accepted. She feels attractive and loved. When they are not having sex she feels that she does not matter. His friends and family are more important and he spends all of his time with them, but her time is always in the bedroom. He does not write her love letters, send her cute texts, or even call her on his lunch break. However, when he wanted sex he seemed to be interested in how she feels. A man got into the conversation and he said he too wanted more sex this year. He was asked why and he said that he does not get it enough. His wife will give it to him once or twice a week but that is it. He wanted it four or five times a week, nothing less, but he would accept more. His wife, on the other hand, would have been fine with only once a week. When asked why he thought he wasn't "getting any" he said, "Oh I know why she tells me every time she hits me with a shoe! She says I am not romantic enough. My idea of romance is sex, hers is going on a date. Why does she need dates I married her didn't I?" What he does not understand is that woman need more. The lady really got him thinking and by the end, he said he was going to show his wife romance because he didn't want his wife for one second to feel like this other lady felt. He did not want her to feel that he did not try to make her happy.

More couples should make the move to do more for each other. Parents should do this for their kids. Inmates should do this before they come home. If I made resolutions these are the top 10 I would stick to.

  1. Be more active with my kids.
  2. Be more present with my family.
  3. Make more time for my husband.
  4. Work harder to find another job.
  5. Get healthier and have more energy.
  6. Make so much money.
  7. Work on my writing and my music.
  8. Be on my husband more about going to school and going to school myself.
  9. Go on dates with my son.
  10. Get more involved with other things in my life that I have neglected.

Cheers to making the best of the new year! Hope 2019 is going to be a great year for our family, hope it is for yours too.
