Many of you are making personal resolutions for 2009 such as losing weight, exercising more, or quitting smoking. Now is also a great time to think about your significant other and the changes you'd like to make in your relationship. I'm not talking about how you'd like to see your partner change — like you wish he'd stop leaving dirty underwear on the bathroom floor — I'm talking about a change you'd like to make as a couple. Maybe you want to have more morning sex, or you'd like to finally move in together; whatever it is, every relationship can benefit and become stronger from a little change, so share your thoughts below.

I would want my boyfriend to start getting along with my best friend of 18 years. They almost never get along, probably because they're way too much alike.
1I wish we could afford a bigger and more comfy couch so he would stop sitting on that stupid f*cking chair and cuddle with me while watching movies and tv. I hate that stupid chair.
2Having it back...and not being so afraid to take a chance.
3Well since you can't change people I've decided to let my relationship go for '09. There were so many things fundamentally wrong with my almost 2 year "relationship" that it was breaking me down. It feels good knowing that I'm in a relationship with myself and so far that's the most fulfilling relationship I could ever have.
4living closer!
5i would want my fiance to get out of his depression so that we could be the happy couple that we were when we met. because of the whole job thing that's going on for a lot of people, he's stressing since he's a recruiter so if we could get that under control then we could be happy again.
6Truthfully, nothing. We're fine just the way we are. This morning, we kissed and made up over an argument last night. We're back at a good place.
7Move in together...
8Finally get married (and we're doing just that, in 4 days!).
9Congratulations, oohsexypenguin!
10oh and i would change.....i want to actually have a boy. heh.
11We live 500 miles apart, I'd like to live in the same city again.
12GET MARRIED! June 27th!
13Travel on the weekends more!
14more date nights! we've been married for 3 1/2 years and we sometimes fall into a pattern of just watching tv/ falling asleep. lately we've been better about going out to dinner, going out to movies, and I'd like to that continue in 09
congrats on all the soon-to-be brides!
15that's congrats TO all the soon-to-be brides!
16I'd probably change myself in order to change the relationship. I tend to harp on the little things and that usually is the spark to a major fight. If I try not to sweat the small stuff, I think we would both be better off!
17living in the same country.
18more date nights and listening to the little things more....but I think we are doing pretty well right now actually!!!
19I'm not sure what i'd change... we live 400 miles apart, which of course sucks, but we see each other every month and we both have busy work lives right now so maybe its not such a bad thing for now... def would love to move in with him by the end of the year or in 2010.
20We just got engaged for the New Year! I am so excited to ring in the new year on such a great note. As a couple, I really want to stay focused on us and not get lost in all the wedding stress.
21Congrats oohsexypenguin. I wish you two all the happiness in the world.
For us I want to work on being consistent with our working out together.
22I'd like for us to live closer together - like, fewer than five hours away. We're working on it this within the year!
23ilanac13, that's exactly what i want from my husband! he is so down/depressed all the time he lets it seep into our relationship. he's in the military and currently posted overseas but right before he left he finally realized that he was depressed and there was nothing wrong with "us" but more so him.
so for '09 all i want is for him to work on getting happier and for me to be as supportive as i can.
24I have exactly the same wish as Fallen85! Our couch is uncomfortable and not wide enough to cuddle comfortably for very long (add to that the fact that our dog likes to cuddle up there with us, and it's even harder to fit!). So, instead my boyfriend sits in his ugly (but comfy) ratcheting La-z-Boy.
We are already going rock climbing more, which is great
Spending the time together
and working out at the same time, doing something we love has been wonderful!
25I'd invite more spontaneity and adventure into our lives. Working and going to school gets you in a routine. We never even went on our honeymoon and have never had the time or money to have a vacation and that is something I decided that no matter what we should do this year :]
26Like many others I wouldn't mind living closer to the boy I would like to have a relationship with.
27i would change nothing!
28I would...you know, HAVE a relationship. That would be nice lol.
29Mmmm just wish I could help my bf be lessed stressed out from work and life. Oh and maybe a bit more PDA but my bf is great in private, just doesn't like pawing me or kissing me that much in public
buti L ike pawing him all the time 
hahhaa.
30I wouldn't change a thing, honestly. He's perfection
31lol, miriah! I hear you!
mine is a very, very new relationship, so all I'd really want is to slowly get to know each other and to continue to enjoy being in each other's company.
I'd like to find something lasting most of all
32Absolutely nothing.....
33I love my relationship as is, but I wouldn't mind taking the next step and moving in together sometime this year
34nothing really. for the first time, nothing.
35wow i hadn't even realized that. i'm so happy:D haha
Vacation more...although its not really a relationship thing. not really possible due to finances at the moment. Vegas in September though...
36My boyfriend is absolutely so sweet and amazing, but I wouldn't hate a bit more romance. I always think of cute little things I'd do if I was in his position, but I have to remember, he's just a guy and doesn't always think that way. Overall, he's amazing, but just a small change would be sweet.
37Fix our sex life. Other than that, we're really happy.
38We have a dirty past. lol.
39We are in a LDR. I hope he starts believing more in me. He fantasizes me having
40multiple affairs
Money. We need more of that. Everything else is good.
