Did you know that statistically nearly 75 percent of relationships end up failing? Are you part of those statistics or heading in that direction? Do you want to avoid becoming a statistic? If you do, then you need to know it will take determination and dedication from both you and your partner, regardless of what the problems are or who is at fault.
If both you and your partner want to save your relationship then keep reading, I will give you seven things or guide lines, you can use to help save a relationship.
However, both of you will need to be committed to following these guide lines and working together to resolve the issues you are experiencing in your relationship.
1.
Communicate: This is first because it is the most important.
Think back to when you first met, can you remember how open your lines of communication were? Well, this is the first thing that deteriorates in relationships.
You have to start being totally open and honest with each other again, this means letting each other know your wants and desires, stating your opinions, and letting each other know how you feel.
2.
Stay calm: When problems arise in your relationship, it is easy to get upset and begin arguing.
Instead of getting upset, try to stay calm and level head, as disrespectfulness or hurtfulness will not help and cause the problem to get worse, making it even harder to fix later.
3.
Give and take: Remember what they say "it takes two to tango" so, you both should respect each others view.
If you give a little, you just might find out, you will get a whole lot more in return.
4.
Make some goals: Setting goals will give you direction, just be sure the goals reflect both of your views and determine what each of you will need to do to achieve them.
5.
Patients: Be patient as it takes time to work out any issues you may be experiencing.
When working toward resolving issues, you will have to be patient with your partner as well as with yourself.
Rushing toward a resolution will only have an adverse effect on the relationship.
6.
Forgiveness: That's right, "forgive and forget" and depending on the situation or issues at hand this can be very difficult to do.
If you want the relationship to move forward even if infidelities were involved you will have to forgive.
Forgetting in this case may be very difficult if not almost impossible but, must be done if you want to move forward.
It is essential you do not live in the past but concentrate on here and now and what you and your partner can do to make the relationship a better one.
7.
Counseling: You may not be in a situation yet that requires you to use this step, but if you are, and you can tell you are if you cannot get past step one (communication) then you should really consider a third party to help.
A counselor can help keep things calm when you are discussing things between you, and sometimes, just that little thing of staying calm can get you over the hump and back on your way to a happier relationship.
Keep in mind that if both you do not agree and go with an open mind you will only be wasting your time so, agree first to see one then, be sure you go with an open mind.
