How To Save A Dying Relationship by Princezico123: 1:16pm On Nov 05, 2019
So how can you save a dying relationship���?? Here are some very amazing tips�
Considerations
Consider if it can be saved? Some relationships can't be saved especially if only one person is trying to save it. If your relationship is abusive in any way, either physically or emotionally, then you probably shouldn't try to save it.

Consider when things went wrong. If you are at a critical juncture, you can probably figure out when things started going off the rails, even just a little bit. You may easily pinpoint one major reason or more often, you may not be able to find one major reason, but rather, a series of reasons for why things aren't working out. Maybe you're both stressing at work.

Consider taking a relationship quiz that can help you assess how healthy your relationship is.
Making your move to try saving your relationship
Consider counseling. If you are at the point where you are trying to save your relationship, it's a good idea to call in professional help. A counselor can help you decipher what problems you have, especially if you can hardly stand to be in the same room together anymore.

Talk with your patner. If you haven't talked about it, you need to start the discussion. It's best to do so when you are calm and level-headed, so that you can actually discuss rather than shout at each other.

Collaboration. You should work together in your relationship, treating each other as teammates rather than enemies. However, you also need to work together when trying to solve problems.

Be truthful. Try opening up about what you're thinking and feeling. It's important to continue using "I" statements to tell how you feel instead of blaming the other person. Being honest is a kind of vulnerability, and by being honest with your partner, you show that you trust him or her. When you're vulnerable, you're inviting your partner in and asking him or her to be equally as honest

Discuss solutions. This step may be the hardest part, coming up with solutions you both can live with. That means agreeing on what you think the main problems are in the marriage/relationship and coming up with ways you can both work to make it better. Compromising means you need to talk about what you both need and want in the relationship.

Learn to forgive. If you're going to move forward, you're going to have to forgive each other for the hurts you've caused. Remember that most mistakes stem from needs that a person wants to be met. Realizing that can help you learn from what happened.

Once you've made a plan about how to move forward, don't forget that you also need to set boundaries. Yes, you forgive each other for what's happened, but you can still put boundaries in place to keep the same mistakes from happening again.
Rejuvenating the bonds
Think about what you love about your partner. In fact, take some time each day to write down five things you love about your partner or are grateful for in your partner.

Just like when you first got together, you need to spend time together, just the two of you. You may think you know everything about your partner, but people can still surprise you even years later.

Enjoy hobbies together. Though tastes may change, you should make time to do something you used to love doing together. However, it doesn't just have to be something you used to enjoy together. You can also try something new.

Get physical. That is, you need to remember to connect to each other through touch, not just sex. When you're together, hold each other hands, cuddle, or hug.

Touch is important in maintaining intimacy, and it can be lost to the daily grind over the years.

This are ways of saving that relationship that is slipping away slowly. Don't forget to comment
