Is your relationship in trouble? Perhaps divorce has even been discussed?
Don’t worry, there’s always hope and it’s not too late to get your love back. Here five ways you can turn things around.
- It’s all in the atmosphere. Make sure you take steps to reverse the negative feel in your house. Avoid giving disapproving looks or making cynical comments; instead make sure you inject hope and happiness into your home. Start lightheaded chats, smile at your partner, laugh together. Remember that 'old atmosphere' and take steps to recreate it. A happy, upbeat house sets a great basis for further progress.
- Wear rose-tinted spectacles - see the best in each other. Don’t be so critical - make an effort to see each other’s positive qualities. Remember the things you used to find so attractive in your partner and make a point looking for them again. This new approach will soften your feelings to each other.
- Dress for your partner! Wear clothes they like. Then take it onto another level and work on displaying all those character traits you know they like. Show them all your finer qualities and trigger all those old, loving feelings again.
- Make a start on moving forward: put the concept of saving your marriage on the table. Have an initial discussion that perhaps divorce is not right for you both.
- Take small steps. Once the concept of saving your marriage is out in the open you can take it from there. Talk, listen, work on the big issues. It will take time but it will bear fruits..
