Lets have an example here shall we which is what many of us can relate to - your partner is working long hours and you are feeling that he/she is not there for you when you need them to be.
Your relationship is falling apart.
So you have to decide is it worth saving? How to save a relationship that is on the brink of failure? While most relationships that have fallen on hard times can actually be saved its vitally important that both parties in the relationship must want it to work.
Without that, the relationship is doomed to failure.
Very many couples remain in a relationship due to children or because of convenience - often financially related, but this in the long term tends not to be enough.
You have to pinpoint the problem issues which can be tricky.
As an example - when an affair occurs, most people see this as the cause of a marital breakdown when in fact the affair is a symptom of something much deeper.
Once the core issues have been identified you can then begin to communicate together about your concerns and then create action plans to solve any problems.
If for example, you have not been spending much time together, you can make plans to spend at least one evening of quality time alone together.
Or if you don't seem to talk much then it's a good idea to spend at least a small amount of time each day discussing things together.
You need to also realize that a relationship that is to be saved is ongoing.
It may seem that for every two steps you take going forward, one goes backwards but in this instance you need to be patient.
This is all a part of how to save a relationship.
