Whatever problems you may be experiencing in your relationship right now, the biggest question floating in your mind right now is probably "Can I save this relationship?" or "Should I save this relationship?" These are both great questions and it is very normal to be thinking about these questions when you're experiencing relationship problems.
Learning How To Save A Relationship - 7 Steps To Help You Save Your Relationship The first step in learning how to save a relationship is do decide whether or not it's worth saving.
In my opinion, every relationship can be saved and is worth saving, but only if both parties wish to save it and are both willing to put forth the time and effort to do so.
When only one person in the relationship wants to save it and the other one is ready to call it quits, it's going to be pretty hard.
The sad truth is that lots of couples stay together merely because it's convenient or in some cases it's because they have children and they don't want to put them through a such an experience.
If that is one of the only reasons you want to save your relationship, then it's not going to be worth it.
There needs to be more to it than that and both parties in the relationship have to agree that is worth saving for reasons other than the ones stated above.
Once you and your partner have both decided that the relationship is worth saving, your next step is going to be analyzing the situation and figuring out exactly what the problem (or problems) is.
One thing that people often do when learning how to save a relationship is that they don't get to the root of the problem, but instead they blame the symptoms of the problem which isn't going to fix anything.
Here's what I mean by that...
Let's say one person in the relationship has committed an affair, and you think this is the problem that causes the two of you to split, or break up.
The problem here is not the affair.
Why did the affair take place in the first place? Could be lack of intimacy, or several other reasons but the point is the underlining cause of the affair is where the root of the relationship problem lies.
So you see, the affair is just a symptom of the actual problem in the relationship that caused the affair to take place.
So in this case, if it was lack of intimacy that was the root cause of the affair, you would need to work on the intimacy problem, not the affair.
If you want to learn how to save a relationship, you need to get to the root of the problems and not the symptoms.
Now that you have pinpointed the root problem of the relationship, it's time to sit down with your partner and share each others feelings and be there to listen to each others concerns as well.
It's important here that you let your partner know that you want to fix this and you want to reconnect with him or her.
It's also important to remember than being honest is key here, so don't get upset if your partner talks about something that hurts you because they are not doing it for that reason, they are just being honest.
Remember this is in an effort to repair and save the relationship.
The next step you should take after you have found the root problem (or problems) in the relationship and discussed it, then it's time to put together a plan of attack to solve them.
Whatever the problem may be, make sure you have a concrete plan in place to work on solving these issues.
Lastly, it's important to remember that saving a relationship is not going to happen overnight, and it is going to take some commitment from both parties.
Just try to take consistent steps towards saving your relationship, not creating more problems.
If your relationship is worth saving, then these steps will guide you in the right direction and give you the necessary steps to take to do so.
