The New Year is always a Special Time for personal Reflection, Redetermination, and Renewal. It’s also a great time as a couple to sit down and review the past year, the highs and the lows, and look forward with hope and a fresh attitude into this brand new year. Suggested questions to discuss as a couple:

1. “What Special Goals can we make for 2009?”
2. “In what ways can we Serve Others this coming year?”
3. “What Special Things can we do to develop and strengthen our marriage — pray together? have a weekly date? attend a marriage enrichment class? practice better listening and speaking to each other, our children, and others?”

Whatever you decide to do in 2009, make a clear and successful beginning in the new year, and build forward and upwards from there! Make this coming year as a couple your best year ever!! May Your Marriage Shine in 2009!!!
