subject: 7 Weird and Common Ways You May Have Never Thought Of to Save A Relationship - Part 1 [print this page] Stop right now trying to decide IF because yes it is worth it for I speak from experience!
So let me start with a common family example
Ashley seems to spend any time she may have looking after the kids needs and Jason certainly feels left out believing the kids needs are being put above his thinking his needs are not being met. Ashley feels he is spending way too much time at work and that he doesn't seem to take any care for her needs either.
Do you think this type of relationship can be saved? Is it worth saving?
This is a common problem in families that can be overcome.
Or maybe it would actually be better to start this off with a question Is the relationship worth saving? Well, yes it is as we already established that. Regardless of either partner's feelings saving a relationship is worth it.
But, while every relationship can be saved, and I do mean every, it will take some very hard work and determination on both parties involved. I'm telling you; even if one of the partners has convinced themselves they want out there will always be away.
Now that doesn't mean that all relationships WILL work I am just confident all CAN work.
2. Start With A Commitment! -
If you want to know how to save a relationship you start with a commitment.
Couples stay in relationships a lot of the time because of the kids or because it might be convenient for them. But certainly we must see that this is not enough to keep a love fire burning. A commitment to each other is the key.
3. Identify the relationship problem(s) -
Usually most people that are having relationship problems and want to know how to save a relationship actually think that the symptoms are the problem. This then becomes one of the biggest problems in trying to stay together. Let me just say that the symptoms of an underlying problem can be something much deeper.
Let's take an affair for instance. A lot of couples that have sadly experienced such heart ache think the actual affair is the CAUSE, but in actuality it can be a symptom of a much larger and deeper problem.
One of them may be starving for true intimacy within the relationship. They may distance themselves from the other for no apparent reason because of all the things going on around them and never even realize that it is happening until it is too late.
If this underlying problem is not dealt with within the relationship then it may even result in more problems down the road such as pornography or even multiple affairs. Most people think that the affair is the problem but true passionate intimacy, enjoying everything about each other could correct the core problem eliminating any problem in the future. Once you begin to deal with the core issues instead of the symptoms you will learn how to save a relationship.
4. Share Your Thoughts With Each Other -
One of the biggest problems with trust is doing things behind the others back. Sharing your thoughts and what your plans are keeps things out in the open and helps with trust.
If you want to learn how to save a relationship talk to your partner about your concerns and let them know your feelings but at the same time be willing to listen to their thoughts and feelings as well. Once you identify the underlying problems you begin sharing with each other better.
