Saving your couple requires commitment and dialogue.
Married life is far from being a long calm river. Between the routine, the arguments and the difficulties of everyday life, the love story can capsize. When a breakup threatens, you have to act to save your couple.
Communicate
When you feel hurt by the behavior or the words of your partner, the first reflex is to withdraw into yourself. However, it is communication that makes it possible to overcome problems together and find solutions.
To save a couple, communication must allow everyone to expose the difficulties honestly without harboring resentment. Even if the solutions are difficult to find, maintaining the dialogue at all costs can improve the situation and revive feelings.
Change your routine
The routine can be comfortable but it can also gradually distance itself from its spouse. Being able to question yourself to make room for something new in the couple saves love and makes you want to be together.
Organizing a surprise romantic weekend, trying out sex games, wearing different clothes or trying new activities together can surprise you and make the idea of separation disappear.
Call a professional
A professional outside perspective can be a help for some couples who are unable to discuss or find a way out of their problems. If the dialogue is completely broken or cannot be done without animosity, a couple therapist can help to approach the problems in a more calm and neutral way.
It is not a question of failure, but on the contrary of a desire to save his couple in search of solutions that will rekindle the flame and make it last if it is still possible.
