As the Founder of StageofLife.com, I wanted to wish our married couple readers a Happy New Year in 2010.

To help provide some ideas on new opportunities for your married life this New Year, check out our...

"Goal Setting Worksheet." Print it here.

Feel free to complete this worksheet with your spouse. You'll be surprised at the answers you'll reveal to each other. We wish you a wonderful life in the coming year and look forward to reading more of your essays, stories and humorous insights about your stage of life here on...Stage of Life!

Happy 2010, everyone!
