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.

Distinguish the problems in your relationship. Many failed to save their relationship because they were not dealing with the very core issues of their relationship.

Begin to hear your thoughts. This must be a two-way communication. This means both verbalizing your own feelings and listening to your partners concerns. Show sincerity to your partner while holding your partners hand as you speak about your problems. This will show your partner that you want to reconnect even when your emotions are swirling. As your discussions go along, your partner might talk about things that can hurt you, keep in mind that the words are meant to improve your relationship… not to hurt you.
Develop a plan of action to fix the problem. And this plan of action must come with a solid steps. You might want to schedule a date with your partner or surprise your partner with creative ways to spend an evening together, a candlelight dinner on a rooftop perhaps. Or by simply committing a time to talk to her before you both go to bed.
