Is There Hope To Save A Marriage?

7 Dec 2008 In: Save Marriage

Right now you may be thinking that there is no hope for your relationship. Perhaps you are fighting or your spouse has upset you in some way? Or perhaps there is just a loss of passion and excitement in the marriage? Whatever the reason you are not alone in feeling this way, as many couples are going through the same thing as you and are asking the same question – is there hope to save a marriage?

The good news is YES, you can save your marriage and relationship if you know what to do. You already know other people that have worked through their problems and gotten back on track so it’s also possible for you too.

No matter what the reason for the fighting or separation, you need to get some clarity on what problems are in your marriage and why they are there. For example, people don’t fight without an underlying reason; it’s usually to mask feelings of hurt or neglect, especially when you are no longer working as a team together.

Even if you are fighting, for example, over who last did the washing up, really the issue is likely to be that one party is feeling devalued or not appreciated. By looking at the real reasons behind your issue you can often communicate what you need to your partner much better.

Communication, trust and respect are the top three reasons that couples stay together, so instead of focusing on what isn’t working, aim to improve these three key areas.

Communication is often the easiest to repair as all you need to do is find a time to talk with your partner in a friendly, non judgmental way and really listen to what they have to say. Setting a ‘meeting’ or set time to do this is often a good way to get alone time together if your schedules are not matching up.

Trust is a little harder to build but it starts with always being there for your partner. They should be able to predict with some degree of accuracy what you would be doing or where you will be going at any time of the day or night. If they know what you are likely to do, then they will more likely trust you.

Respect is the hardest area to repair but it is the most essential to every happy relationship. Respect has to be earned and it follows on from being trustworthy. If you can gain your partner’s respect then it is very likely that you will have a wonderful future together.

Do You Want Your Ex Back

7 Dec 2008 In: Get Ex Back

Everyone is looking for someone they can spend the rest of their life with. When you find this person, you may feel happier than ever before, and capable of doing anything. Unfortunately, break ups are possible, and they can happen to anyone. Some break ups are necessary, while others can be undone. Do you want an ex back, because you realize that you cannot or will not live without them? Here are some tips for getting your ex back!

1 – First and foremost, you need to have a clear head if you want your ex back. People can always tell if you have too much going on in your mind, and if you have a lot on your mind regarding the break up, your ex will know. You need to stop thinking about how badly you want him or her back, stop stressing about the future of your relationship, and simply clear your head. It will improve your communication with your ex, which will improve the chances of getting back with your ex.

2 – If you want your ex back, you need to avoid being a sell out. I know you want to do everything humanly possible to get your ex back, but don’t drop to your knees begging and apologizing simply because you want him or her back so badly. Instead, you need to be strong, calm down, and focus on doing fine without him or her to get their attention again.

3 – To get your ex back, create a wow factor. The same old you is not going to do much when it comes to getting back with your ex. The old you contributed to the end of the relationship, so it is time to create a wow factor. Do a little bit to change your life, like working out more, or getting a better job. Do something to create a better image of who you are, and you ex will surely notice and respond well to the positive changes.

4 – To get your ex back, do not forget. You should not allow your past to haunt you, but you should not forget about what led to the break up either. Take what happened in the past and turn these events into a learning experience. This is the best way to make sure that you do not make the same mistakes in the future, should you get back together with your ex sometime in the future.

5 – Create a plan, finally! You cannot just emotionally go all out, hoping for good results. Put a logical plan together instead, thinking logically and operating accordingly. If you put some thought into the process you will be a lot more successful at scoring your ex back. Walk into the situation with a plan and you will be able to get your ex back in no time at all.

There was a time in my past that I couldn’t stand to watch the advertisements on TV.  Every ad seemed determined to mock me that I wasn’t in a happy loving relationship like they were and I wasn’t cuddling up the sofa with my loved one.  No – I was alone because my ex had broken up with me and so I felt more like Bridget Jones than Angelina Jolie.  Then I decided that if I wanted him back then I had to take action, so here are the steps you can take on how to get your ex boyfriend back.

The first step is to take a moment to breathe.  You are not going to get him back if you are emotional or hurt, so take a few days to get yourself back into a reasonably sane state before you start your mission.  It helps to know that you have a plan in place and that things are not completely lost yet (they are never too far gone, even if he is already dating someone else).

The reason this is important is because you don’t want him to think you are stalking him which is a big turn-off for most people.  So try to avoid calling him, showing up places that he will be and even try playing a little hard to get if you can manage it.  If you have to see him, because say you work together, then just keep things as professional and calm as you can and keep the small talk to a minimum for now.

You also need this opportunity to take time out for yourself to renew your spirit so see if you can have a night out with the girls or catch up with old friends for a movie.  Do anything sociable that brings you joy and pleasure as this will help you get into the right frame of mind when you do contact him again (and you will be doing that soon – hang in there).

Ok, now that a week or so has passed and you haven’t contacted him it’s time to make your move.  Give him a call or send him an email with a cheery but cryptic message so that he is intrigued enough to call you back.  Something like, “Hi John, its Kelly here, just wanted to thank-you for that thing you did.  Hope to catch up with your soon, Kelly.”  He will be wondering what he did and he won’t be able to resist calling you back to find out it was. 

When he does call you back act very casual but friendly and tell him something appreciative that he has done (make it believable) and make sure that you keep the conversation short because you have to be somewhere soon.  I guarantee you that he won’t be able to stop thinking about you and you’ll have your ex boyfriend back in no time.
