When you're in love, New Year's Eve is one of the most romantic nights of the year. The promises you make then can go a long way toward ensuring a happy honeymoon and a solid marriage. That said, here are a dozen resolutions you may want to consider starting off the year with:

New Years Resolution #1: Figure out where we want to go on our honeymoon already! (This directory of romantic destinations will help.)

New Years Resolution #2: Make reservations early so we're sure to get the place we want on the dates we want.

New Years Resolution #3: Keep my sense of humor -- and understand that everything from the trip to the airport to the wedding night may surprise.

New Years Resolution #4: Be smart about buying airline tickets, know in advance how much luggage we're allowed to carry on -- and how much time to allow at the airport.

New Years Resolution #5: Surprise my spouse (with a game, a love letter, or silly honeymoon gift) once we settle in at our destination.

New Years Resolution #6: Make sure you know the top honeymoon hacks and don't overschedule your days.

New Years Resolution #7: Set aside time each day of the vacation for myself -- and respect my mate's private moments, too.

New Years Resolution #8: Remember that it's not just me anymore. There are two of us now to consider.

New Years Resolution #9:Taste something (or lots of things!) on the honeymoon that I've never savored before.

New Years Resolution #10: Understand that even on the honeymoon we might have a fight or disagreement -- but it's not the end of the world.

We'll get over it, move on, forgive, and continue to love one another.

New Years Resolution #11: Be patient with my spouse, even if I don't always understand his or her emotions.

New Years Resolution #12: Share my hopes, my dreams, and my future with the one I love most.
