I don't know if the same rule applies for new years resolutions like "being nicer" as applies with gifts. This may require some discussion but if you are thinking of being nicer as a gift to your husband or just unpleasant members of the species in general. I'm always told "It's the thought that counts". ( referred to as ITTTC for the rest of this post)Lol yes .. Maybe its still early enough to adjust my list ... 'Being nicer' is just too hard sometimes
Point I'm getting at is you can start small by thinking of ways you could be kinder (because ITTTC). List these ways, maybe one day you will feel like acting out a point on the list.
For example a point on your list might be to drop the improvised weapon you are carrying and just slap husband on the back of the head instead of using the golf club to drum sense into him.
You may not ever get the urge to drop that weapon but ITTTC. Small steps though. If I resolved to lose 20kg, trying to lose it in one day would require that I cut off a leg. If you are feeling like being nicer is like cutting of a leg right now its because you tried to go big on day one. Try just thinking about being nicer fur the rest of the week. Maybe by next week you will actually be nicer by mistake. Hope this helps.
