How do I start saving my relationship?
Saving your relationship is no different from saving anything else. The very first thing is to
establish and get clear on the fact that your relationship is valuable to you and it's worth saving.
You've got to stop taking it for granted and doing the things that contribute to its erosion. Your next
step is to assess the damage....
How do I work out what's going wrong in my relationship?
Take a long cool look at your relationship issues. It will be easy for you to write down all your
grievances about your partner... so don't! Instead, hold the mirror up to yourself and ask, 'What am
I doing that is making this relationship go bad?'. Be honest with yourself. What do you do
deliberately to press your partner's emotional buttons? If you want things to change, you have to
start changing YOUR behaviour.
What if my partner is not willing to change?
Many couples become very childish as their relationship goes into stormy waters. They develop an
over-sensitivity to the balance of give and take in a relationship and get very irate if they feel that
their partner isn't contributing their fair share to the partnership. This can devolve into a kind of
negative tit-for-tat warring: 'You didn't put the garbage out, so I'm not doing the dishes!'
Unfortunately super loving relationships don't work on the principle of the 50-50 partnership. If you
want to save your relationship, you need to accept 100% of the responsibility for saving it. You've
got to give 100% loving energy to it -- even if your partner is doing nothing.
How do I repair the damage?
Your cool assessment will reveal your personal contribution to the downturn in your relationship.
The simple turnaround is to stop doing those things. Use the principles that Maxwell Maltz talked
about in his book, 'Psycho-Cybernetics'. Visualise your typical relationship scenarios in your mind
and instead of re-acting in the old way, see yourself acting in new positive ways. See your
relationship blossoming with love. That's all that matters -- that 'love is all around'. See it first in
your mind's eye, then do everything you can to put it out there. Be nice, be kind. It can be
unrewarding at first, particularly if your relationship had become spiteful. Even if your partner
seems like a stubbornly immovable object, the gradual, persistent drip drip of your loving ways
cannot fail to carve a way back into his or her heart.
What else can I do?
2. Apologise for hurting your partner. This is a very brave step and takes a lot of self-honesty. You
have to be the initiator, the one who steps up to the plate as it were. Just say you are sorry for the
pain you may have caused. Don't try to justify yourself at this point, even if they come back at you
with further accusations. Just apologise and reiterate your love for them. Say how important they
are to you and how you want to have a wonderful loving relationship with them. If you're lucky,
they might apologise to you as well. But don't go looking for it -- instead forgive them for the pain
you think they have caused you. Forgiveness means to 'let go of', and you are going to let go of
the inner wounds and grievances that you've been attributing to your partner. You're searching for
a new more loving way of being now...
How can I transform this into a wonderful loving relationship?
We have too many examples of crappy relationships and not enough examples of great
relationships. TV, gossip magazines, and the majority of movies focus on destructive, over-
dramatised relationships, with couples being nasty to each other and/or splitting up. No wonder we
have such trouble with relationships, when our inner template of 'a relationship' is so warped. We
are feeding our subconscious mind with all those destructive examples! Instead you can emulate
successful couples who are full of love for each other. So change your mentors, and copy those
couples who are deeply in love.
