New Year’s Eve brings people the refreshing
feeling of having a clean slate to start anew. Each year, it seems like people
either place entirely too much pressure on themselves to change their lives, or
no pressure at all. Regardless of where you and your sister
wives app or partners fall on that spectrum, here are a few resolution
ideas that you can all have fun with.
Make Date Nights a Priority
If you don’t already have a date night
schedule in place, or maybe you do but find it hard to stick to, this is the
year to start! Both individual and group dates are important to build and
sustain the bond your polygamous family has. With more people to incorporate
means more preferences and more schedules to accommodate it may seem difficult
to organize, but that does not mean you shouldn’t try.
An example date night schedule could be
individual date nights every two weeks and a group date once a month. You
should, of course, adapt that schedule appropriately in a way that works best
for the number of sister wives or partners in your couple. Dates don’t have to
be extravagant in order to be fun, either. Here are a few different categories
of budget-friendly date night ideas to help you
start planning.
This also applies to poly couples who want to
find additional find a sister wife to add to
their family. For obvious reasons, 2020 was a hard year for anyone to meet
people organically. Though there is (hopefully) an end in sight, no one knows
for sure when things will be back to “normal”. Don’t let that stop you from
making 2021 the year you find who you’re looking for - utilize online polygamy
dating websites and apps, video chats, and socially distanced dates
like meeting up to go on a walk or a spread-out picnic.
Help Each Other Maintain
Individual Resolutions
One of the many benefits of being in a
polygamous relationship is having a larger support system and more people to
share responsibilities with. For example, say one of your sister wives or
partners decides to make a New Year’s resolution to make more time for a hobby Polygamy Website, like going
to the gym. Something that could help them stick to it would be to choose a few
nights a week where you and your other partner(s) take care of getting dinner
on the table while they go to the gym.
Doing things like this is a great way to show
you care about each other’s personal growth. Many people, both monogamous and
non-monogamous, struggle with placing too much of themselves into their
relationship. This is why it’s so important to encourage and support each other
to do things for themselves so you can all grow as individuals, together.
Even if your partners usually don’t have New
Year’s resolutions, try sitting down together to talk about your goals. Even if
you don’t call it a resolution, everyone has at least one goal they want to
accomplish in the next year. Work together to figure out how you can best
support each other so that everyone feels fulfilled.
Set a Goal You Can Work Together
to Meet
Speaking of having a conversation about goals,
you should also talk about what goals you want to accomplish as a team. It can
be as big or small of a goal as you want. It also doesn’t have to be something
you want to accomplish this year; it could be something more long-term.
Maybe it’s a long-term goal like moving
somewhere new, or a short-term goal like going on an annual beach trip. You can
obviously have more than one, too. Try thinking of one fun one like the beach
trip and one serious one like paying off a debt. If saving money is involved in your goal, try
making it into fun mini-contests like seeing who can go a day without spending
any money or who can find the best deal on something.
If that’s not really your thing, maybe make it
a goal to host some kind of event together. Whether it’s a themed party or a
small Bible study, it could be a fun way to get more involved in your
community. Whatever it is, make it something you can all be excited about!
Be Completely Present When You’re
Together
It’s crazy how today, you can be sitting in
the same room together and all be focusing on separate things. And that’s ok sometimes!
Everyone unwinds differently but if you aren’t careful, that one episode of a
TV show can easily slip into hours and then you’re going to bed having barely
spoken all night.
Everyone has some capacity to be a little more
mindful, especially with their partners. These are the people we are most
comfortable with, which sometimes makes it easier to forget those manners you
had when you were first dating. Even when you’re eating dinner together, it can
be entirely too natural of a reflex to check your phone to see a notification
that pulls your attention away from your sister wives website or
partners.
That’s why it’s important to consciously make
the effort to silence your phones, or leave them in another room altogether,
when you’re spending time together. This will improve the quality of your time
together and show your partners that your relationship is the most important
thing. Try implementing a “no screens” policy at dinner or in a certain time
frame so you can all unplug and enjoy connecting with one another.
In Conclusion
Hopefully these ideas prove to be useful as
your poly dating family heads
into the new year. Your resolutions, both together and individually, could
inspire a lot of positive changes so all partners feel like they’re the best
version of themselves, in the best version of your relationship. Cheers to
making 2021 your best year yet!
