The husband works long hours and the wife spends all of her time to meet the children's needs. So, the wife doesn't feel her husband's presence and the husband feels that his wife doesn't have time for his needs anymore. Such scenario happens everytime. An unlikely scenario that, fortunately, can be fixed. There are ways to save a relationshio as such, here's how.
Make sure that you really want to save the relationship. Before you put an effort towards saving your relationship you need to be sure if you think that it is worthy of saving. You can't save it alone though, both of you must decide that you want to make the relationship work. If not, all efforts will be for nothing. Saving the relationship because it is more convenient that way or because of your childres, won't put your relationship back to work.
Identify the problems in your relationship. This can be very difficult to many. Many people do have tendencies to believe that the symptoms of the problem are the actual problem itself. For example, lack of intimacy can be a problem to any relationships. And lack of intimacy leads to a straying partner. But seldom are those who can actually pinpoint what the real problem is, resulting them to just fix the problem of a straying partner. So let's say that you've stopped the affair of your partner. What do you think happens next? It will definitely just lead to another affair, because you've failed to deal with the core issues.
Communicate with your partner and discuss about the problem. You both need to become aware of every bit of information to be able to fix the problem and save your relationship. You might hear words from your partner that can really hurt you, but remember that these are not meant to hurt you but to work things out with you. Holding your partners hand while talking is a simple gesture that shows your sincerity.
Create an action plan to solve the problem. Then, take concrete steps on your action plan. Planning a date night every week will be helpful. Also, take turns coming up with creative ways to spend an evening together. If not communicating is the problem, commit to spending 20 minutes before going to bed just talking to one another. And, then do it.
Conceive to yourself that it is an ongoing process to save a relationship. You will sometimes find your self in tears as you go along saving your relationship.
If your relationship is worth saving, there is no reason whatsoever why you shouldn't put forth an effort to save your relationship. - 15784
