Please don't get to the end of your life and say to your spouse, "You know...we forwarded a bunch of memes and watched a bunch of streaming episodes." Go for a walk. Dance in the living room. Have sex. Go to counseling. Find a group of couples to come over. Go to a bingo hall. Take food to the homeless. Visit someone. And on and on and on. Go live your one wild life, and stop watching other people live theirs. Delony

One of the greatest gifts you can give your romantic partner is clear instructions about what you want. About how they can love you well. I know that Hollywood has taught us that being in love means that we should be able to read each others minds. But that's not reality. It's fantasy. Give the person you love a clear roadmap — with instructions — on how they can best love you. Dishes, car repair, sex, bed times with the kids, meals, putting down their phone, working more, etc. You might feel annoyed, angry, un-sexy, or frustrated. But clarity is kindness. It can help your partner love you — how you want to be loved. In the new year, give each other a chance to love well. No more mind reading. Delony

Never raise your voice in your home. Never yell at your kids. Never scream at your spouse. Yelling and screaming is an adult temper tantrum. It's a sign that you've lost control and are resorting to intimidation instead of leadership. It doesn't help. It only hurts. Children yell and kick and scream. Mature adults do not. Delony

Do not be afraid to try as hard as you can. On your marriage. On your health. On your work. On your relationship with your kids. On your faith. On anything. Quiet quitting says way more about you, than anyone else. For once in your life, go all in. It will not guarantee success in terms of outcomes. But it will guarantee success in character and strength. And that, my friends, is the goal. I love y’all, Delony
