Healing A Relationship

Motivation

Share feelings with one another to gain a better understanding of your relationship.

Discuss the beginning, middle, and end of your relationship. Talk about how things were in the beginning, things you liked and did not like at that time. Talk about what is happening within the relationship right now. Then, discuss what you would like for the end result to be. What is the outcome you are hoping for? Let your end goal become your motivation to heal your relationship!!!

Responsibility

Both parties take responsibility for the relationship falling apart.

While discussing details of your relationship in its current state, take responsibility for the relationship being in a rough patch. However, not full responsibility! You and your partner, both, should take responsibility because a relationship takes two and not just one.

Practice

Actively healing the relationship.

As you are working to heal your relationship, practice healthful and positive communication. 9 times out of 10, you and your partner hit a rough patch due to lack of communication. Therefore, you both need to practice expressing yourselves in a respectful manner.
