There will always be problems and tons of issues in a relationship and it really doesn't matter if you have been together for a long time or if you know each other from head to toe.
Don't think that it's the end of the world because your relationship is starting to fall apart.
I would say that every relationship will inevitably experience ups and downs.
We all start wonderfully with joy and a lot of excitement and then before you know it, everything is not how it used to be.
There are many ways on how to save a relationship but the most important thing to realize is if the relationship is worth saving.
Think through it a hundred times and decide.
I must remind you though, if only one person is trying to save the relationship, it will not work and you are bound to the end of the tunnel.
The first step on how to save a relationship is acknowledging faults and shortcomings.
Both of you need to sit down and talk and try to analyze what went wrong? What caused the relationship to shatter? It's not about blaming who's at fault but trying to understand what lead you to this situation.
Don't try to argue with your partner, this will not be good for either one of you and besides you are putting more stress in an already stressful scenario.
Be honest with each other and listen and when I say listen I mean try to understand where your partner is coming from and why he or she feels that way.
When your partner is talking, do not interrupt just to defend yourself.
Whether their feelings are rational or not, you have to respect them.
Another crucial step on how to save a relationship is to take some actions.
Talking and listening to each other's sentiments will help but doing something about it is what seals the deal.
Find a way to fix the problem.
If your partner complains about not being able to communicate with you then make it a point each day to talk to each other without any distractions.
Why can you not spare 30 minutes or an hour for the one you love?
