" Have you made your New Year&amp;amp;#8217;s Resolutions yet? How about making a joint resolution with a close friend, serious boyfriend, or husband? See, when it&amp;amp;#8217;s just you alone and your diet goals or your semi-resolve to stop cracking your knuckles, it&amp;amp;#8217;s easy to cheat or fail, partly because no one will know. But the cool thing about a joint resolution is that you can keep each other honest. Plus, it&amp;amp;#8217;s just easier to work harder when, say, you&amp;amp;#8217;ve got a friend on the bike or treadmill next to you. If you&amp;amp;#8217;re lucky enough to have a friend with similar goals, or you&amp;amp;#8217;re in a couple, why not make a joint effort? Here are some ideas (after the jump)! We will&amp;amp;#133; Go hiking or walking together three times a week. Make more time for intimacy in the mornings! Enjoy a date night every Wednesday. Promise to be open and communicative when a problem or annoyance arises. Cook (together) at least three healthy meals a week. Stop drunk-spending money on food and extra rounds of drinks when we&amp;#x27;re out at bars with our friends. Carpool to the gym. Save an extra $200 a month by avoiding the mall, watching TV online, etc. Plan a yard sale every six months or eBay stuff in our closet. What are some other joint resolutions? Will you be making one with a partner or friend? What is it? Have you ever made one before? How did it work out? Happy New Year! What&amp;#x27;s With All the Spam in the Comments Section?
