New Year’s Relationship Resolutions for 2012

You know you want your relationship to keep getting better, you want to grow together not apart and the best way to accomplish that is by setting some New Year’s Resolutions that are guaranteed to improve your communication, enhance romance, increase intimacy and expand your sexual horizons.

Here are 10 Relationship Resolutions that I know will make your relationship even better.

  1. Set a Romance Goal – Hold hands, kiss daily, make time for make-out sessions at least 3 times a week and take turns initiating romantic dates such as candlelight dinners, movie night or romantic surprises.
  2. Set an Intimacy Goal – Listen to each other, be emotionally supportive, share your feelings and make love with eyes open at least 2 times a week. Be tender, compassionate, supportive and unselfish to make your partner feel loved.
  3. Set a Communication Goal –Ask your partner how you can be a better spouse or lover. Praise your partner often, give him or her a compliment every day, listen more, argue less, verbalize appreciation more and criticize less.
  4. Set a Collaboration Goal – Spend quality time together by doing things you both enjoy. Learn a new hobby together, take dance classes, Loveology online classes, cooking, yoga, camping, painting or volunteering for a charity together.
  5. Set Habit Changing Goal – Make a pact to help each other lose weight, stop smoking, procrastinating, being messy, lazy, grumpy or any other bad habit where you can support each other to quit. Keep each other accountable with reminders of the benefits to changing bad habits and give each other some fun rewards.
  6. Set Fun Goal – Play indoor and outdoor games like you did when you were kids. From hide and seek to pillow fighting, from playing on the park swings to camping in the woods, be silly and playful to put the fun back into your relationship.
  7. Set Intention Goal – Write a couples mission statement and include where you see your relationship in one year. Then frame it in and put it in a prominent place as a reminder of your shared relationship mission.
  8. Set Improvement Goal – Change something about yourself to make your relationship even better.  For example, make an effort to dress up and greet your partner with a kiss after work, learn how to give a sensual massage or just get a fashion makeover. Do something to build your confidence and improve your relationship at the same time.
  9. Set Forgiveness Goal – Let go of past hurts, open up your heart and let love in with a fresh New Year’s start. Tell people who have hurt and disappointed you that you forgive them. Write a forgiveness letter to yourself for allowing someone to hurt you or write a letter to someone you resent.
  10.  Set Happiness Goal – Know what makes you happy individually and as a couple. Then live your life to the fullest by doing the things that make you happy, whether it’s eating ice cream, watching funny movies, being pampered at a spa or cuddling with your partner.

Be realistic when setting your New Years Relationship Resolutions. The reality is that a consistently successful relationship takes compromise and commitment.

Twixmas Celebrations

Christmas is over, so treat yourself and unwind by enjoying the break between Christmas and New Year, known as Twixmas. Relax and regain your energy during the quieter period between the two holidays before the partying of New Year begins.

Here are 10 things you can do at Twixmax.

  1. Turn all of your leftovers into a delicious picnic. Enjoy it at home, take it to the park, the beach or to a friend’s home and revel in the variety of festive foods.
  2. Get the whole family to help you write thank you cards for gifts and greetings you received, so you get them out of the way before 2012.
  3. Read a good book from beginning to end.
  4. Create a vision board with images that depict how you want to live your life for the next 12 months.
  5. Organize all your photos and revisit favorite memories with your lover, family and friends.
  6. Go to a relaxing destination for a couple of days to enjoy the post-Christmas lull.
  7. Start exercising by walking, doing yoga, skipping, swimming or just doing sit ups while watching TV.
  8. Break out the board games and play with the whole family. If romance is your intention, sex them up by changing the rules. Monopoly can be sexy when you play naked and if you land on “Go to Jail” then your lover handcuffs you while making love to you.
  9. Clean out your closet and give everything to charity that you haven’t worn for two years or more.
  10. Stay in bed, watch movies or sports and relax. If you feel guilty about not being productive, take your laptop to bed. Get food delivered so you don’t have to do dishes. Finally, make love to your partner or pleasure yourself to celebrate love and intimacy.

Twixmas can stretch your festive celebrations until New Year or it can be the break you need to recoup from family commitments between festivities.

Love Swings

There are various kinds of love swings and having one in your home can definitely make sex more exciting so you and your lover can experience airborne positions and in-air oral sex. A love swing is very good for lovers with height and weight differences because you are free of your lover’s weight on you. It can also be beneficial for people with limited physical movements ranging from from arthritis to spinal injuries.

Imagine sitting on a sex swing, putting your feet in the stirrups and swinging back and forth while your partner makes passionate oral love to you. Or straddling your lover while he sits in the swing with your feet in the stirrups as you hold on to the support bar to give you leverage for the G-spot, U-spot, or A-spot orgasms.

You can experience hands-free sexual positions face down for doggy or anal entry or face up and suspended in the swing spinning at 360 degrees.

Some love swings hang from the ceiling or a doorway while others have a portable stand. You want to get a sturdy swing that can hold up to 800lbs just in case you want to have a love swing party so all your friends can have fun trying it out.

Below are six different kinds of swings that are available, so check them out, talk to your partner and decide if a love swing is something that can enhance your sex life.

  1. There is a luxury Love Swing that comes with 3 spreader bars, a swivel and trapeze bar for about $250 dollars at loveswing.com which looks amazing, but it does take up a lot of space.
  2. Topco has a Love Swing for $121.00 at Amazon.com that holds 200 pounds when using the spring, and it holds up to 400 if you choose to not use the spring. The spring doesn’t make much of a different except it allows you to bounce up and down a bit.
