These things if not resolved could have created the wall in the relationship. Find out what really caused the problem so you can come up with a solution to bond the division.

Self Assess the Damage

Once you’ve learned what caused the damage, look at the situation carefully to see how or even if the damage can be undone. Whatever you discover is the root of the problem remember; that the solution needs to fit the situation.

If you’ve been wondering how to save a relationship, below are 7 simple steps you can take to accomplish this, but first a little story. Sean and Lizzy both work hard. Sean works long hours at the office, and Lizzy spends her time tending to the children. Sean doesn’t feel she has time for him, and Lizzy thinks Sean doesn’t have time for her. Can their relationship be saved? Should it be saved?

Before a relationship can be saved, you have to decide if it’s worth saving. Most can be saved if both parties involved decide to put in the hard work sometimes required. If, however, one of the people involved isn’t dedicated to saving it, there isn’t much you can do.

There are plenty of people you pass on the streets every day who stay in relationships because they are convenient, or stay with the marriage because of the kids, but that’s just not enough. The key to how to save a relationship is that both parties have to mutually decide that it is worth saving.

The next thing to do is zone in on the problem or problems in the relationships. One of the biggest issues faced with how to save a relationship is that people come to the conclusion that symptoms are actually problems. This is a common mistake, don’t make it. Focus on the actual problems.

One example is an affair. Many people think this is a problem that causes break ups, but in truth, an affair is actually a symptom of a larger problem. A lack of real intimacy can lead to an extramarital affair. Most people would look at the situation and think the affair was the problem that caused the break up, but in reality, it was the lack of true intimacy that was the real cause, the affair was the symptom. If you don’t address the lack of intimacy, you might be able to use guilt to stop another affair, but most likely another problem (like pornography addiction) may arise because you have dealt with the core of the real problem.

Your relationship can only be saved when you strip down the symptoms and start to deal with the core issues.

After the real problems have been realized, you have to sit down with your partner and have a conversation. Speak what’s on your mind and listen to them while they verbalize their feelings. Hold your partners hand while you listen to show that even if you’re emotional, you want to reconnect. If your partner brings up something that hurts you, remember that it’s not an attempt to hurt you but an attempt to show that they want to improve your relationship.

For example, if your problem is that you don’t spend time together like you used to, take a weekend getaway or set up a date night each week. Even if the date night is Wednesday, you’re spending time together. Then, you and your partner can take turns thinking up fun and exciting ways to spend your date night.

If the problem facing your relationship is that you don’t communicate with each other enough, plan out 20 minutes before bed where it is just the two of you. Turn off the TV, computer, and silence your phone. Just take some time and talk, just the two of you. Don’t just schedule it, do it.

And Finally, you must realize that saving a relationship is a process. Often you will go two steps ahead and take one step back. There will be pain and joy as you move along. Just remember to be quick to apologize and slow to place blame.

Is the relationship your struggling with worth saving? I hope it is, and if you think so, follow the advice given in this article and be committed to it.

Is your To Do List A Little Like This:

-Feed the dog -Do Laundry -Break up with significant other

Ending a relationship may not be at the top of most people’s to do list, but the sad truth is that relationships do go sour, and when they do, somebody has to end it. Unfortunately, many relationships last way past the “expire by” date all because breaking up is hard to do.

There are times that relationships end in flurry of clothes and personal belongings being thrown out of a second story window.

There are other times that relationships just sputter out until they are dead and somebody finally works up the courage to say “its over.”

If you are the person that’s ready to end the relationship, how can you do it without either of you ending up hurt?

First, you have to be completely clear as to why you’re ready to terminate it. Your first thought, may not be the real reason. Once you’ve pinned down your real reason, you have to take the next step and be completely honest, which means a conversation with your partner where you are completely honest and open.

Set up a convenient time that works for both of you to break up. Do it in person as this is generally better than over the phone or internet. If distance is a problem, break up with them sooner rather than later. This is better than holding out until you can sit across the table from them.

Be certain to have compassion during the break up. You can’t stay friends after, or even be friendly, if you are harsh or mean.

Try not to put them on the defensive. Your partner is very likely to become emotional, and it would be best if you are completely present so that you are equipped to respond to their needs. Talk about things you enjoyed about the relationship, things you learned and the memories you’ll cherish.

There is a good chance that your partner will say things they don’t really mean during the break up. Don’t take these too personally, instead let them go and realize they are just reacting.

Your partner may need space, or they may need more than one conversation to comfortably deal with the transition. Give them what they need to get through this emotional time.

Don’t let them make you feel guilty though. You’re starting a new part of your life, and a relationship with your ex isn’t included in that. If you’re breaking up for the right reasons, it’s better for both of you to remain just friends.

Should you ever consider reconnecting with your ex? Is the end, “THE END?”

This is so very personal, and in the end, you have to decide it for yourself. Almost all relationships can be saved if the right conditions are met. It just takes time and effort. If you are willing to put forth the effort, then you can come through this upheaval and become an even stronger couple.

However, if you are certain you are ready to end it, then it’s best to do so and make it a clean break so you can both move forward.

Cheating is a word everyone hates to hear. It is even worse if it is used to describe a partner. Unfaithful partners are every person’s worst nightmare. You would be surprised at the percentage of relationships that have had the misfortune of a cheating partner.

The partner being cheated on often feels like it is their fault and they caused the infidelity. Do not even think that; cheating is a choice and the person being unfaithful has made the choice to participate in the adulterous relationship.

Many people point the finger at men as being the unfaithful partner but, there are also many unfaithful women. Surprisingly, the number of unfaithful women has grown over the years, mostly because of the double standards that men and women have.

Women are considered docile creatures while men are thought of as hunters. Keeping this in mind women tend to exhibit the ability to engage in a monogamous relationship without having to stray. Men on the other hand, seek change and assert their hunters instinct by engaging in adulterous relationships. If you desire to be faithful, the best thing to do is maintain control.

Infidelity is measured in different ways. Some people believe that you are not unfaithful as long as there is no sex. Others believe that any type of physical contact, especially sexual, is considered infidelity. There are two forms of unfaithfulness; emotional and physical. There are however, no defined boundaries for being unfaithful.

There are several questions you can ask to decide whether you are going to be considered being unfaithful. First ask yourself if you would be comfortable telling your significant other about the encounter. Do you think your partner would react accepting or unaccepting? If you have any doubts or questions in your mind then the best thing to do is not have the so called encounter because it will probably be some form of infidelity.

Sexual encounters are not the only form of infidelity. There is also emotional connections which could be considered being unfaithful. All relationships need some form of physical and emotional stimulation and if either is missing the partner will go somewhere else in search of it.

Adventures are exciting and many think infidelity can be an adventure. Infidelity is not a road to be traveled lightly. It can hold many signs that could reveal unfaithfulness to a partner. Consider what you are doing before you do it because chances are you will be caught whether it is in the act or from signs that give you away.

Infidelity is not something many relationships can endure. There is usually some type of connection that is stronger in the adulterous relationship. Unfaithful partners are also very hard to trust again making it difficult on the relationship. Time can heal wounds but there are just some things that can not be forgiven or forgotten and infidelity is one.

Infidelity is devastating to a relationship and can make trusting someone very difficult. You need to remember it is not your fault your partner cheated, it was a choice made by them. Unfaithfulness can be more than sexual and physical, it can also be emotional. Whether you are male or female, make sure you are ready to deal with the repercussions of cheating because it could spell disaster and much unhappiness in the long run.
