1. This New Year I resolve to being more humble, to express the quality of
humbleness in all my relationships to a point where it becomes my humble habit.
2. Realizing that I am not perfect, I promise to make every effort to extend
grace to other people, making allowances for their short-comings,
especially for my precious spouse.
3. This New Years Eve I am going to let go of any hurt feelings of bitterness,
resentment, and spite by forgiving my spouse for any hurts that I feel he
or she may have caused me. I now know that the pain is mine, not theirs, and in
order to love I must forgive.
4. Though I know that everyone, including myself, struggles with selfishness,
this New Year I commit to being less self-centered and more understanding of
other peoples needs, especially my wife's or my husbands.
5. This New Years I will intentionally make efforts to appreciate my husband,
wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend on a daily basis. To open my eyes wide enough to
view the many reasons I have to be content with them.
6. I agree that my tongue can be hurtful if not kept under control, so I am
resolving to better control my words by thinking before I speak. This New Year I commit
to speaking words of love to my spouse by complimenting and encouraging
them.
7. With patience I will be more understanding, more compassionate, and more
forgiving. With patience I will overlook the things that I have so often allowed
to bother me. With patience I will have more tolerance, so I humbly commit to
being more patient with others, especially my spouse for the entire New Year.
8. Although we are all prone to become angry, I know that a person of
understanding is even tempered. I will seek to control myself and my emotions so
that I am not too quick to become angry thereby making a fool of myself. I
will be slow to speak, quick to listen, and slow to become angry during the
New Year.
9. In this New Year I promise to spend more time gaining wisdom so that I will
grow in maturity and become a more loving person. I promise to read the book of
love, 1 Corinthians in the bible, so that I may follow the ways of love, and
learn what it truly means to love.
10. I am going to make intentional efforts to love the people in my
life, because I now know that love is more important than anything else. I know
that real love lasts forever, and there is no greater joy than that.
