Are you looking for ways to save your relationship? Is you relationship struggling because you have lost that certain excitement? Is communication a problem? May be an affair? Regardless of the reasoning behind your need to save the relationship your reasons are meaningful and important to you.
No matter what is behind the question, "how do I save my relationship?", here are a few things to understand about people in general: 1.
People want what they can not have.
How does this help you? Think about putting some space between the two of you.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? Create some time for your significant other to miss you.
Perhaps that will allow them to think about what they miss about you and want you even more.
Think about how this could help your situation.
2.
We tend to resist things that control us.
Fear causes us to try and control people or situations.
Take a few steps back and take a look at your relationship, is there any controlling behavior? People don't like to be controlled or feel trapped.
If you think that you might be doing a little controlling, remain aware at all times of your behavior and start to make changes.
3.
We tend to think of ourselves before we think of others.
A lot of times we are feeling hurt, we are upset because our needs are not met, but what about the other person? Many times there is a lot of cause and effect going on.
You are reacting to each others feelings and going in a vicious circle.
Take a few steps back and put yourself in the shoes of your significant other.
What changes can you make? What can you ask of your partner to work on getting your needs met? Consider these three things when you are thinking, how can I save my relationship.
These three things are not going to solve all your problems, but it is a tremendous start to saving your relationship and understanding each other.
