Make a fresh start. This new year has offered you an empty book for you to write what you desire in your relationship hence don't let the ruins of last year pose as an obstacle this year. In other words let the bags and baggages and ruins of last year go with it.
Adjust and Change
If you observed things in your relationship from last year that resulted to issues then it's time to say bye bye to those things. It's time to change the things you don't want anymore and also adjust to the change. If your issue last year was communication then it is time to make sure you connect everyday.
Develop your friendship
To make your relationship better then you have to solidify your friendship with your partner. One way or the other you started out as friends before you committed yourselves to a relationship.
