It\u2019s difficult to pinpoint exactly what causes a relationship to start falling apart, but if you find yourself in that situation, it\u2019s easy to feel hopeless and afraid that things will never improve. But before you jump into the nitty-gritty of fixing the bad parts of your relationship, it\u2019s important to focus on just two things: how much you love being with your significant other and how badly you want the relationship to work out. Once you\u2019ve established these two facts, try these 10 simple strategies to fix any struggling relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Define the relationship you want<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m in a relationship with my best friend. This person knows me better than anyone else. We love and support each other unconditionally. When we’re together, it’s like no matter what is going on in the world, we’ll always have each other. I know they would do anything for me, and I would do anything for them too. The problem is that we live in different cities and only see each other every few months or so when they come visit me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Talk about what’s not working<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relationships are hard and they take work. When a relationship is struggling, though, it can feel impossible to know what’s wrong and how to fix it. The first step is figuring out what isn’t working in the relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Don’t take things personally<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t take things personally. One of the most common challenges couples face is taking each other’s words too personally. The truth is, we all have different ways of expressing ourselves and our feelings. So, when someone says something that doesn’t feel good to you, try not to take it as a personal attack. Remember that you’re both doing your best – but you may have different ideas about what is right and what is wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Be patient<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the simplest things you can do when your relationship is struggling is just be patient. It’s important that your partner knows you’re there for them and that you’re going to be supportive. Even if you don’t see the point in a relationship or feel like it might not get better, show your partner that they are worth being with by waiting patiently and being there for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Communicate effectively<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective communication is key in any relationship. That’s why it’s important to identify the root cause of a disagreement and be willing to work together on a solution that benefits both parties. If you don’t know what your partner wants, ask them! What if you’re having a tough time hearing each other? Try using I statements or active listening techniques to improve your understanding. You can also use third-party opinions like friends, family members, etc., as sounding boards for disagreements. After all, they probably have good insight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) Be honest with yourself<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the hardest things to do, but it’s also one of the most important. Relationships are a two-way street, and both people need to be willing to put in work. The best way to do this is by being honest with yourself and your partner about what’s going on in the relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) Respect each other’s needs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
