Taking a subservient role in a relationship might not be very comfortable for you right now, but this is an important opportunity for you to learn, and one you shouldn’t take for granted. Put your ego aside and listen to the person who’s in charge today. They know what they’re talking about, and they can teach you what you need to know to get where you want to be. Sure, they’re opinionated, but you know how to listen to everything, without falling for the spin.

Do you have one particularly troubling bad habit? Whether it’s an addiction to sugar or online video games, it’s time to get it under control. Seek the kind of help you need to deal with it, whether it’s a support group or a physician. Now’s the time to get healthy.

You could be pretty distracted and absentminded today, so see if you can stay as focused as possible when dealing with your partner. Explain that your head is elsewhere if things start to get weird.

If your regular way of doing things is mind bogglingly different than it was a year ago, stop thinking about how things were a year ago. Be open-minded and accept the way things are now. In other words, move on.
