The question is can I save my relationship? Do I want to save it? These methods will show you how to save your relationship.
Foremost the first consideration is whether the relationship should be saved.
Basically any relationship can be saved; but both parties needs to be on board.
One partner can not want to save it while the other partner does not.
Because if this is the case than you are fighting a losing battle.
When there are children involved people tend to stay in relationships longer for the sake of the children.
When that is not enough, you need to decide is the relationship worth saving.
It is now time to identify the issues in the relationship.
What are the issues that are causing you to be at arms with one another.

For example your partner starts to hang out with the guys more and you obviously identify this as the problem.
This is a part of the major issue.
Let us analyzed what caused your partner to start hanging out more.
Is it because of a lack of attention, constant nagging, or routine lifestyle? You want to identify the major problem and solve it first before it leads to other things like infidelity.
To successfully save the relationship you want to deal with the big issue one on one.
Take some time and talk to one another.
Look each other in the eye and communicate the main issue and come up with ways of solving it.
Please refrain from argumentation.
Be patient with one another.
Take time to listen to each other sides without interruption.

For example every Friday could be family night or every Tuesday could be one on one time with your partner and so forth.
Get involved in each other lives while offering support in a none threaten way.
By now you know saving a relationship is a daily journey that you and your partner can take happily together.
There are going to be some rough patches along the way but remember there are going to be happy ones as well.
