Top Ten New Year's Resolutions for Your Wife

To be fair, you men deserve to present your wife with a contract in case she tries to get you to commit to the Top Ten New Year's Resolutions for Your Husband. So before you sign anything, make sure your wife is prepared to make these equivalent vows in 2008 for you.

1.) I, (your wife's name), will not constantly act like it is "that time of month". (Chocolate cravings not included.)

2.) I, (your wife's name), will not pester (your name) about his day. He will let me know if anything happened that he wants to talk about.

3.) I, (your wife's name), will actively plan and participate in a family night at least once a (choose: week or month) with full enthusiasm.

4.) When trying to initiate a conversation with (your name) I, (your wife's name), will carefully choose meaningful and intriguing topics over pointless ones.

5.) No matter how busy my day is, I will set aside 5 minutes everyday to cuddle or spend intimate (occasionally even bedroom intimate!) time with (your name.)

6.) I, (your wife's name), will keep aspirin in the cupboard for nights that I have a headache.

7.) I, (your wife's name), will remember during our rockiest moments why I love (your name.)

8.) When (your name) is watching a game or a show that I am not interested in, I will not try to pester him into giving me attention. There are other things I could be doing.

9.) I, (your wife's name), will not get upset when (your name) doesn't understand me.

10.) I, (your wife's name), will leave (your name) alone when he is upset. Unlike me, he needs space not pestering affection, unless otherwise requested.

Note: there are as many similarities as there are differences between the 'wife' and the 'husband' resolutions. In either case feel free to make any suitable alterations but please keep this in mind. This binding contract for your wife was written by a woman, not a man. Had a man written this, there would be no way your wife would consider agreeing to the proposed promises that a man's mind would compose. Therefore, keep it clean, fair, and reasonable.

Enjoy and Good Luck!
