What's the best way to save a relationship?

When I had some trouble in my relationship we both took a few days off work and just spent good solid time together. It helped immensely being around each other and getting everything out in the open.

Learn how to shallow your "pride" for the sake of saving a relationship. People would end-up parting ways if one has not lowered her/his pride. It should be the first thing to do if someone would want to save a relationship. It doesn't matter whose fault it is, as long as one can learn how to make amends and talk intelligently how the relationship goes. Without it you can never save any relation especially if its hanging in a thread.

It's a challenge to save a relationship for me. And I also wonder what's the best way to save it. I think the basic principle you should let your partner know that you really cherish this relationship.

Hi careguarden,Well for me ,the best thing i could say is forgive and forget .And have a second chance,as they say Love is lovelier the second time around.Good luck!

Challenges is common in every relationship, but when both of you were open minded to settle things right, you can save your failing relationship. Number one factor for me, for a relationship to last long is trust. According to some, you can trust a person whom you love, but you cannot love a person whom you cannot trust. Breaking up the trust in a relationship also means an ending for me. Without it, the relationship will always be in doubt. Having a good and open communication also counts a lot. You need to talk things over and settle disputes or problem, as soon as possible.

I think to save a failing relationship you have to directly adress the issue that's making it fail. Whatever the issue may be it must be adressed honestly and quickly. Often times when a person does wrong, feelings change or whaterver the case may be we tend to think of the issuse or subject as taboo between partners, thatt is why thinking of old times past(goog times) does not work. if you are experiencing bad times you must focuse on them and resolve the issue to save a relationship. Work it out so you are both winners and not one or the other and the relationship might pick back up. DCSTREETS

There really is no great way to save a relationship, if it is doomed, then it is doomed. If you and the other person really love each other, then the two of you will find ways of making it work, you will spend more time with each other, work on communication, go out for an evening once in a while, you will do whatever it takes to make it work. If the two of you are not really in love with each other, and you never have been, then sadly, that relationship is never going to work and you might as well let it go. Some relationships are not worth saving. I knew one couple that was married for years, neither of them really loved that either, the husband thought he could make it work after she told him that she wanted a divorce, but the husband never really loved her, and deep down, never really cared about her. She knew that their relationship was doomed from the start, but for some strange, and very stupid reasons, she decided to stay with him. When she finally came to her senses, she left him and told him that they were threw. This was one relationship that wasn't meant to be. The two of you have to be willing to make your relationship work. If neither of you are willing, then the relationship is going to fail. You cannot have a one-sided relationship.

IMO and in my life if a relationship isnt working or is on a continuous downward spiral and talking things out isnt working...its time to either walk away or take a break...My husband and I seperated for 9 months a few yrs back..then we got married and things have been continually going upwards ever since....In fact we dont even fight anymore and havent in a couple yrs...we have intense discussions mind you but they are always fair and mature for lack of a better way of saying it..

Well, if you remember all of of those wonderful moments, then the best way to save the relationship is by remembering about them with your boyfriend/girlfriend. I don't have much experience with relationships, but I do remember a similar incident that dealt with my friend. We were best friends in fifth grade, and had the best times. But once we entered sixth grade, she became a totally different person. She would hang out with all the popular people and completely ignore me. Once in a while, we would talk, but it wasn't the same. Our friendship was falling apart. Then, I brought to school the one necklace we made together and wore it around my neck. She noticed it, and we started talking about the good times we used to have. Now, we're closer than ever.

Their is no perfect or ideals romance. Even though at fist instance becomes sweet some relationship quickly wean when their companionship becomes long that it comes to saturation. One meet it with a lot of mix emotions. Though, we could choice to save or destroy a relationship depending on one need to preserve or to exhibit as one would likely to be successful or trip to fall as easy one could broke or mend the pieces. For me their is no perfect relationship all come in glory and agony of love, In order to accept the reality one need not to set an ideal partner but should know to work it out to even becomes better rather than grabbing aggressively when one partner totally have die his love toward his mate. Then, have to decide using your own freewill and decides according to the dictate of your conscience and not just for the sake of pompous display of fake emotion.

Every relationship has challenges.Lovers have imperfections.There are times that a relationship will undergo to a failing stage because it through this that both parties will be tested on how they love each other.It is through this that they grow and be better persons especially when humility and forgiveness are applied. Inorder to save a relationship, maybe it's very essential that lovers will apply the 4C's:commitment, courtship,communication and compromise.

in a relationship there should be a give and take activity... in one way or another the person who really wants to make the relationship last was the person who did his/her best just to stick to the peak were the realtionship is... but all we have to put in mind is that in a relationship you can never tell if you will really both end up with each other. Sometimes in life those people that we think we that we will be with till the end of time was not really the one... but also if there is something you think you can do just to save the relationship dont hesitate to do it. At least you wont regret in the end and you will never end up asking questions starting with if and maybe. If i were in that stage, ill ask myself first what was really wrong with those things that had come to our way and if i can answer that i would start to do those moves just to still exist in my partner's eyes. Though we have to accept the fact that sometimes the problem was not really in ourselves but with our partners. And that its them who wants to cut everything in that time there's nothing we can do anymore. And that's the time which you have to face it, accept, let go... Well, that's life! ^_^
