For 2008, my husband and I decided we are going to write Couples Goals to ring in the new year.
I believe this works best with two people in a serious relationship who live together because they have consciously built their lives with each other; hence why I coined “Couples Goals.” Having said that, you don’t have to be a part of a romantic couple to participate. All you need is someone who you spend a good deal of time with who wants to accomplish the same things you do. Other good choices would be family members, roommates, or close friends.
The idea behind this is simple. Rather than having individual goals, the couple creates goals they want to accomplish together.
