In less than 72 hours, 2025 will roll in with all its promises in tow. As dawn breaks on January 1, people declare their New Year resolutions.
Now, the big question: are couples ready to give their relationship a fresh romantic spark?
New Year resolutions include promises to become better husbands or wives, to be more honest and responsible as a husband or wife. It is unfortunate that the same bedroom lawmakers break their vows within the first week of the new year. In fact, some would have gone back to their usual cat and dog flatmate lifestyle in the new year. But that should not be the tempo in the coming year. Wear a mumu-button outfit and move on.
Disagreement between couples has been a recurring decimal over the years due to various issues. So many spouses are living in regret, pain and bitterness. If they can turn back the hand of the clock, many would leave their marriages. Some have banned oil rig exploration because of disagreement, especially when both parties are not ready for a truce. The resultant effect is a dry, fallow love zone. No one visits or explores the oil rig. All these must not cross over into the new year.
For starters, it is important to note that the days when men ruled in all entirety are gone. God gave men this privilege and women of the golden age followed without questioning them. Education and exposure have combined to make women more assertive, accomplished, bold and more sensitive to issues and their bodies. They value peace of mind and cherish their career. This reality has been a source of friction and struggle between men and woman, a situation that should not be when both understand and respect each other in a relationship. But for those living with entitlement mentality, who are not ready to adapt to the new opportunities of life, might not walk greatly into the new year. It will always be a battle and struggle.
What is the message? Those who want to have the best of the incoming year, should cast away the baggage that is weighing them down, and gracefully move gracefully into the new year. Put behind you all the offences of yesterfAll the yester-years offences, pains should be called it a bluff and face the new moon. Walk into the new year with mumu-buttons. Pretend and become a politician in your marriage. Pretend not to see all and act blindly in some cases for peace to reign. Become a toothless bulldog and win the battles effortlessly. Wear the mumu-button dress and move on for both men and women. They will discover how natural and great their coming back would be.
Interestingly, resolving issues between couples should be one of the simplest things to do as a new year resolution if the parties are willing. They do not need a third party to resolve their differences. It is a very simple workover by looking into the future with positivity. The only issue that cannot be remedied is death, otherwise every other battle could be won if only the victims are interested to change their mindset and walk into the new year with a resolve to be the best. If they would allow the tables to turn around positively, if the dragging bag of ego could be burnt forever. If only they would remember their first date, read their love code and realign their love tango. If only they could put all challenges behind and make a great comeback. If only they man would tear down all male ego and look into his woman’s eyes with tender care.
Again, men’s respect and value is not contestable while women go over the hills for their love and care.
Now, for the willing souls who crave for happy moments in f2025, the mindset should be opened by calling each other a special pet name meant for just the two of them. A hug wherever and whenever.
Calling each other pet names creates and strengthens bonds, depends love and care. Therefore, with such pet names, one could discover that mumu-buttons are already on. It will be easy to walk into the new year as loving couples. Look into each other’s eyes and have heart to heart conversation. At least for the new year.

Such moments send out sensational good signals as most couple resolve their differences within that space. It usually is a great moment for both when the body becomes so warmth and heated up. A heated man whose third leg is in dire need of a hole to explore can promise his woman heaven and earth. He can change all his stubborn decisions, pay every payable bill and promise to do more. Women also scream out when they are dealt with in the other room. A woman who allow her mumu buttons to be on would be properly vacuum-cleaned, then she would be the first to call his master his various pet names.When a man defends his sexual title on his woman, the woman has no choice than to bow down and sing his praises. Sexual connection cannot be underrated in a relationship, it is a great deal for both the man and the woman especially in settling issues.
