Do you know why most relationships fail? Unrealistic expectations. For some reason most people feel that love should be perfect. When people describe being in love they describe the ecstasy, the bliss, they seem to ignore the hardships of a relationship, and the sad thing is that we pass this surreal picture of love down to our kids. The truth is everything is flawed, and being human we are groomed to find each and every one. That is why we find relationships so difficult, it's not because they're flawed it is because we were taught from childhood that love was the one thing that was supposed to be flawless.
I know I might be sounding like a cynic here, let me assure you I am not. I believe that there is nothing more beautiful, more innocent, then true unyielding love... flaws and all. I am trying to say that if you want to have any chance of saving your relationship you must be willing to let go of that perfect picture. If both of you can't accept that there are going to be hard times ahead then you'd be better off breaking up and staying single.
There are two questions you must ask yourself in order to save your relationship: the first is easy or should be, "do you love him or her?" and the second, "can you live with them flaws and all?"
Some people can't vocalize the answers to these questions, and by doing so they become voiceless and trapped. Trapped in a relationship of convenience. They don't want to hurt the other person, or their kids, or their family, so instead they hurt themselves by committing to a lie.
Don't be one of these people, the most important thing to have in a relationship is solid communication. It is through solid communication that problems are averted and solved. If your relationship is lacking in this department I can almost guarantee that it is doomed to failure. If you can communicate, then small problems will not turn into bigger ones like abuse and infidelity. It may sound far fetched, but believe me worse things have happened due to lack of, or miss-communication.
To save your relationship sit down and talk about your core issues, anything that's bothering you. It can be something small like they never clean up after themselves, to something large like they never really listen to me. It is important that you both have your opportunity to speak, and don't get angry you may hear some things that you are not comfortable with. It's all meant to help your relationship.
After everything is put out there figure out how to address it. Make a plan of action. If you want more time together then the two of you figure out 1 night a week to do something special together, just them and you no one else. Don't just talk about your problems and then leave it be, if you want to save your relationship you have to come up with solutions.
Lastly, saving a relationship is not an easy road to travel. You will hit rocks and bumps along the way, but if you make a plan, talk, and listen I am sure everything will be great... flaws and all!
You have total control of the direction your relationship will take. You have a choice of failure, or success. I'm sure you'll agree that since your here you want your relationship to succeed. If so, then take control. Don't wait for someone else to make the first move. Visit
