Here are eight incredible determinations to make as you end 2011 and move to make your marriage super in 2012?

Keep your anger under control and keep your tongue from name calling when you get mad.

Pursue reconciliation quickly so that a disagreement doesn’t continue to escalate.

Guard your heart from improper sexual actions and thoughts.

Put the option of divorce away.

Keep your word.  If you say you will do something, do it.  If you say you won’t do something, don’t.

If your spouse hurts you, do not try to get even.  Don’t retaliate.

Do more than you are asked to do.  Do more for your spouse than the minimum requirement.

Do good to your spouse even when you think he or she is your worst enemy.  Love him anyway.  Love her anyway.
