As much as we would like, there is no simple way to fix a failing relationship. There are only hard work and common sense solutions to help you get your relationship going in the right direction. Trust, love and respect are the three things that can make a relationship sink or swim. Remove just one of the three legs on this stool and the relationship is impaired and possibly even destined to fail. If your relationship is a going downhill, one of these seven relationship rescue techniques may save the day.
1. Focus on the qualities that make relationships work. Be the person you want your partner to be. Be honest, compassionate, loyal, understanding, and trusting. Remember that you have both made mistakes and will again.
2. You must be realistic. The main reason many relationships wither and die is a lack of romance. The butterflies in your stomach and feelings of excitement that happen when you first meet your significant other don't always last. It is normal to have a phase of extraordinary passion and excitement. The relationship then settles into a calmer period of stability and habit. Sometimes the daily routines can feel boring, especially when compared to how exciting it all felt when you first started dating. What you have to remember is that the craziness you feel in the beginning is not true love. It is also not enduring. What should be happening during this phase is that your relationship transitions into a deeper, more fulfilling type of love. Here are some ways to help grow your relationship into the type of love that lasts. This is the type of love that will take your relationship to the next level.
3. Do a better job of communicating your feelings. Be open and honest with each other in a caring and positive manner. Talk about issues or problems before they get blown out of proportion. An unresolved issue that you keep to yourself will come out in other ways and is very likely to lead to bigger problems like antipathy, anger and pain. If you are unsure about something, ask.
4. Accept your own imperfections as well as your lover's. Imperfections do not mean that the relationship is destined to fail. You can put them in a different light. They are an opportunity to learn about each other and grow, both as individuals and as a couple. Doing so helps build faith and trust in one another and deepens the relationship.
5. Relationship counselors sometimes suggest that the couple take a break from everything. If communicating doesn't work, maybe not talking about the problem may be the best solution. Taking a step back from an argument does not mean you are quitting. The gesture proves that you respect each other. By doing this, you can clear your mind and let calmness take over.
6. Be happy that you have each other. Love life and try to spend each moment being the most you can be. If your partner is feeling down, be the one they want to be with. On the other hand, when your partner is happy or excited, be happy and excited for them.
7. Do fun things together. It is sometimes hard in our busy world to remember to have fun. Working on your relationship doesn't have to be difficult. Why not make it fun. It is easy to forget the reason you fell in love. Go back to basics and make a list of what you used to do together. Then start doing those things again.
These are just some of ways to rescue your relationship. Although they may not work for everyone, the tips listed above work for many. Use these techniques as a starting point and they might just be the answer you needed. And once you get back together, don't ever let go.
