There is something quite wonderful about being involved in a loving relationship. When things are going well, it is almost impossible to describe how great it is. Especially if you try to explain it to somebody who has never been in love. But, sadly, there can be times when things aren't going right.
In fact, they can go terribly wrong, and before you know it, you are suddenly looking for ways of saving a relationship. Whether you are still together and hoping to save things before you are apart forever, or you are already broken up and want to make things right, what follows should help you to get through it.
The first thing you should know is that all of the feelings you are having are completely normal. There will be ups and downs, and all kinds of difficult things to cope with, but knowing you're not actually going crazy (even though you may think you are) can be comforting in its own small way. It may take a while to work through these feelings, but it can be done.
This may sound obvious, but a lot of people overlook this step: You have to know exactly what's wrong or going wrong before you can fix it. The tricky part is that while we are good at recognizing symptoms, we are not always that good at identifying their causes. That means you will have to do some digging to get to the real root of the problems in your relationship, but it will be worth it.
Once you identify what the issues affecting your relationship are, it's time to discuss them with your partner (or your ex if you are already broken up). A relationship is, by definition, made up of more than one person.
For this reason, it will take both of you to work towards saving a relationship. And the only way that can happen is if you are both aware of what the problems are. Also, if your partner has identified some problems, be sure to listen with an open mind. What counts here is that the two of you are communicating.
You have now identified the problem areas of your relationship, and shared them with your partner. The next thing to do is work on a solution. Now, each problem has its own way of solving it, but there is one overriding principle that will make things better. That principle is to keep love an active force in your relationship. By doing this, you will be able to be humble when you make mistakes, forgiving when your partner makes mistakes, and respectful of each other.
As you can see, saving a relationship can be done when you know how. None of the steps are complicated, but that doesn't mean they are necessarily easy, either. However, if you really love your partner, and want to make things work out for the best, then it will never feel like work. Instead, it will feel like you are doing your part to have a happy future together with someone you love.
