Buy a better battery? Upgrade Starter, or engine 'block' heater....

1. Make sure your battery and starting system is in perfect condition. Clean the battery terminals / make sure they're on tight. If you have an '04, does it have the updated starter and battery?

2. Add an oil pan heater. Most good parts shops should have an oil pan heater that you can stick to the bottom of your (clean) oil pan and then plug in to your home power. Also, there are battery blankets that you can buy that plug in as well (you may need to modify your battery box to get these to fit.

Without any idea of your location (HINT - it's in your Profile), or your year, model of car, it's a bit difficult to be more specific.
