Ways to save a relationship
Sometimes you need a short, sharp shock to save the relationship
For some couples, it’s not even a lack of ideas for romance that their relationship is missing, they actually have bigger problems in trying to find ways to save a relationship itself.
As you know, we start taking each other for granted after a while in a relationship, start spending more time apart with hobbies, friends, and your partner just starts to feel like a room-mate, or a ‘parenting colleague’ to you.
You stop communicating, stop having sex, stop really being a couple. Allow this to go on, and pretty soon one or both of you will start thinking of, or even mentioning the D-word or breaking up. Then you start asking for help to “save my relationship”
So your relationship gets to the point of a potential divorce, without either of you having actually taken any steps to nip this growing-apart in the bud.
So many couples get divorced or break up without really fighting to find ways to save a relationship, having sat down with their partner and worked through the problems.
So how do you find ways to save a relationship quickly?
One way to give your relationship a short, sharp shock to get it back on the right path, or at the very least see if it’s possible to save the relationship, is a ‘bootcamp’-style approach.
So rather than having a brief chat/argument every now and again about how unhappy you both are, and getting nowhere, you both buy into a full week of figuring out together ways to save a relationship.
This is what the Relationship Bootcamp course is all about for example – it’s a Couples’ Course where you both put in 7 nights’ of effort, maybe an hour a night, discussing or tackling a different aspect of your relationship. At the end of the week, it’ll be as plain as the nose on your face the ways to save a relationship, or whether you guys are really in trouble and divorce is a possibility.
What a Bootcamp-approach should cover to save the relationship
- How can the two of you become a couple again and enjoy sharing time together?
- What do you both want and expect from your sex life?
- How can you have an argument (we all do) without it leading to a melt-down?
- Are there little changes you can both make that will make your partner happier?
- What are the little things you do that drive your partner up the wall, rightly or wrongly?
“Isn’t couples’ counseling a better way to save the relationship though?”
Following a more intense bootcamp-style approach is a much easier ‘sell’ to your partner too, compared to marriage/relationship counseling. Counseling may well be the next step after a Bootcamp-style approach in private at your own home, but why leap right into that and potentially spend a ton of money when a course like Relationship Bootcamp may be enough to save the relationship?
