Saving A Relationship By Knowing Thyself
You could play a part in making the relationship better...
There can be a lot of reasons on why a relationship is breaking down. When a relationship is on the verge of tearing apart, you could take the easy way out and put the blame on the other party, but at times, reflecting on our actions and taking positive actions will improve the situation.
-
Be willing to change
How often people are willing to change for their partners? How often do their partners want them to change?
"You don't do enough of what I tell you, I'm working day and night to keep up with the bills while you can hang out with your buddies watching tv!"
or
"Maybe you should be around the house with your family more than trying to do everything your boss says, and not attend all those meetings all the time"
Every situation is different, but the underlying fact is change is a part of life, part of learning. There are "negotiable" situations where our willingness to change will help to improve the relationship. Learn to listen rather than to blame.
-
Take an active role
Actions Speak Louder Than Words, when a promise has been made to do something in a relationship, it should be kept.
Don't just say it, start proving it. It may be selfish if perhaps your partner says something about you that might seem hurtful, like you have to lose weight for example. But if you do decide to do it, do it for yourself and it will do wonders for your self esteem. Improving finances, taking steps to improve your flaws. These actions in the long run will make you a better person... and a better partner.
-
How do you view yourself?
How is your self image, does the relationship problems come from some hidden feelings of insecurity? Is it you that can make the better change. Fear of intimacy, fear of change, fear of abandonment.
Get educated on how to improve yourself. Learn what causes those fears and seek a better self improvement in the areas that you think need work. Is it a crisis that's bothering you, if you think that the problem lies deeper than you should seek professional help. Do not self abuse.
-
Really try to listen
Listening rather than pointing out. Sometimes, in order to save the relationship, one has to forgo proving a point at that moment and listen to the other party's needs beforehand.
This shows maturity in understanding the situation. Try really hard. Love comes with sacrifice.
-
Throw away your ego
The term Pride comes before a fall doesn't just apply to tyrants and emperors in epic movies or overly ambitious businessmen, if you're always out to prove that you're right, you're making out the other party to be inferior and she or he will eventually leave.
-
Know the art of seduction
I know this might not mean make sense to some, you might be saying, "we were already in a relationship, now I have to seduce her all over again?" But knowing seduction is key to keeping the relationship fresh.
The relationship had to be great at one point in your life. Or it would not have started in the first place. By learning the art of seduction, you're putting the intimacy back into the relationship, and that never hurts.
But I've tried everything to save the relationship...
If you've tried everything, but nothing seems to work. Maybe you should try another method. That is to AGREE to the breakup.
I know that is contradictory to what you're trying to achieve, but if you're partner is dead set on breaking the relationship, but you don't want to, this critical step might save it.
