Ruth Institute newsletter subscribers got my New Year’s Resolutions, 8.5 ways you can help marriage in 2010. Hint: if you aren’t a Ruth Institute newsletter subscriber, you can subscribe here. It is totally free.
So here are 8.5 suggested resolutions for the new year of 2010.
1. I will speak up for marriage, and for sexual integrity to my family and friends. If I’m not sure what to say, I’ll find something from the Ruth Institute website or newsletter to send to them. But I will speak up.
2. I will “catch someone doing something right.” When my pastor speaks out for life or for marriage, I will thank him. When a company does the right thing, I will thank them.
3. I will hold the media accountable for what they say about marriage, family and human sexuality. The next time I read something biased, I will contact the editor or author, and respectfully suggest they contact the Ruth Institute for a more balanced perspective.
4. I will post something from the Ruth Institute newsletter on my facebook page every week.
5. No more, will I give reflexively to a college, just because I went there, or because my kids went there. I will pay attention to what goes on and encourage my alma mater to do the right thing.
6. I will tell young people about the Ruth Youth facebook fan club.
7. I will support young people participating in Ruth Institute activities, by telling them about it, by forwarding newsletters to them, or by sending a contribution.
8. I will make an effort to learn something new about marriage each week.
8.5 I will share what I’ve learned with at least one friend!
Let 2010 be the best year ever for promoting lifelong married love!
