22 Ways to Save a Struggling Relationship

Medically reviewed by Timothy J. Legg, PhD, PsyD — By Cindy Lamothe — Updated on September 9, 2021

You’ve heard it a million times but it bears repeating: even the strongest relationships face challenges.

Building a happy, healthy partnership takes work and may not always be easy, especially when there’s been a breach of trust. “Issues are a part of life and a part of being in a relationship,” says clinical psychologist Stone Kraushaar. “And the goal is to not fixate on the past, but work to create together in a meaningful way.”

So, you do you go about that? Here are some tips to get you started, whether you’re dealing with the fallout from a betrayal or trying to keep a long-distance relationship going.

Anytime trust is broken, there’s going to be a rift in the relationship. It might be painful to face, but leaving these issues unaddressed won’t help anyone in the long run.

1. Take full responsibility if you’re at fault

If there has been infidelity or trust has been broken, it’s important to take full responsibility for what happened and be understanding of how your behavior hurt your partner.

Avoid becoming defensive or sidestepping your mistake, but don’t fall into self-loathing either. “You should own it in a loving way that creates the space to start to rebuild trust,” says Kraushaar.

In a nutshell: Take responsibility, but don’t attempt to justify your actions or blame them on someone or something else.

2. Give your partner the opportunity to win your trust back

While you have every right to feel hurt and angry, there should be a desire to work on the relationship.

“Trust can never be restored until the person whose trust was broken allows their partner a chance to earn it back,” Kraushaar affirms.

Not sure where to start? Our guide to rebuilding trust can help.

3.

Practice radical transparency

Instead of bottling up emotions, Kraushaar encourages couples to be “radically transparent” with each other about what has hurt them. This involves truly getting it all out there, even if you feel a bit silly or self-conscious admitting certain things.

If you’re the one who broke the trust, this also involves being radically transparent with yourself about what motivated you to do so. Was it simply a lapse in judgement? Or was it an attempt to sabotage a situation you didn’t know how to get out of?

In order to be honest with each other, you’ll have to start by being brutally honest to yourselves.

4. Seek professional help

Broken trust can take a toll on everyone in the relationship.

If there’s been a significant breach, consider working together with a qualified therapist who specializes in relationships and can provide guidance for healing.

5. Extend compassion and care to the person you hurt

If you’ve hurt your partner, it’s easy to fall into a spiral of shame and disappointment in yourself. But that’s not going to help either of you.

Rather than spend all your time beating yourself up over what you did wrong, try shifting that energy toward showing care and compassion to your partner.

Being physically apart more often than not can be rough on a relationship. Keeping the romance alive takes extra effort on everyone’s part.

6. Manage expectations

Have a discussion with your partner and set ground rules that take into account your exclusiveness and commitment to each other.

Being honest and upfront about your expectations from the beginning can prevent things from going wrong down the road.

7. Have regularly scheduled visits

“It’s so important that couples know and have scheduled visits and can look forward to those times and plan to make them special,” notes Kraushaar. In fact, research has shown that long-distance relationships where partners have a reunion planned are less stressful and more satisfying.

8. Set aside time for online dates

If you’re not able to organize scheduled time together due to significant distance or finances, Kraushaar recommends setting up regular online dates with a theme or specific focus.

Don’t just go for your usual conversation topics. Cook a meal together, watch a movie while you keep the video chat open, play a virtual game, or even read a short story aloud, taking turns.

9. Don’t let your world revolve around your partner

While it’s important to pay attention to fostering closeness in a long-distance relationship, that aspect shouldn’t consume you.

No matter how much you miss the other person, don’t forget about other important areas of your life. Keep up with your hobbies and interests — a happy and healthy relationship partly involves you being each partner being their own person.

No matter how you dice it, going through a rough patch when you live together is stressful.

10.

Plan a weekly ‘couples meeting’

Kraushaar recommends setting up a specific time each week that allows you both to talk about more difficult topics, such as money, sex, and trust so that these don’t bleed over into all of your interactions.

11. Learn to compromise

All relationships require give and take. When you’re living in close quarters, being accommodating of the other person’s needs and preferences without sacrificing your own can help foster more happiness and fulfillment.

Consider working out some kind of temporary agreement that allows each of you to unwind at home alone. For example, maybe you stay a little later the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while they hang out with a friend on Mondays and Wednesdays.

12. Spend time with friends outside of your relationship

Spending time with friends can have a powerful effect on your personal mental health and can help strengthen your personal identity.

Remember, staying connected to your partner means having a life outside of your relationship.

13. Engage in affectionate physical contact

Kraushaar encourages couples to regularly hug each other in a fully present and connected way. Holding hands or hugging releases oxytocin which can reduce stress and boost your mood.

If you’re not on great terms right now, this might be easier said than done. Try starting slow — simply putting your hand on theirs can help to show that you still care.

14. Don’t be hooked on romance

Deep-level intimacy is about creating a satisfying and meaningful relationship that isn’t always based on romantic expression.

Sure, everyone wants to be swept off their feet from time to time, but it’s important to genuinely respect and enjoy your partner for who they are outside of what they can give you.

Picking up the pieces after a big fight can feel like an impossible task. Try these techniques to help you both move forward.

15. Use skilled communication

Once tempers have calmed down, it’s important to make sure you both have a chance to get your points across. Try to give each person space to communicate their point of view.

“Being open and honest about one’s thoughts and intentions about the relationship itself and the future can restore — or newly create — a sense of safety” in the relationship, says Montreal psychologist and relationship specialist Zofia Czajkowska, PhD.

16. Speak from your heart

In order for you partner to truly hear you, it’s important to communicate what you’re really feeling below all the tension.

For example, avoid accusatory phrases, such as, “You did this to me!” Instead, aim for something along the lines of, “When X happens I feel Y and I think it would be helpful if you could do Z to reassure me or prevent that from happening in the future.”

17. Actively listen

If you catch yourself forming a rebuttal in your head as your significant other is talking, you’re not really listening. “You’re getting ready to defend yourself or go to battle,” says Czajkowska.

“Winning” an argument is never truly winning, she adds. “If your partner feels that they lost, it will likely contribute to more distance, tension, and resentment, so in the long run, you lose too.”

18. Break the pattern

When rebuilding the relationship, Czajkowska advises to consider it a new one, rather than saving an old one.

“Seeing it this way creates an opportunity for defining rules and boundaries from the beginning.” This means striving to understand and work through underlying issues as well as letting go of past resentments you’ve been holding onto.

A lack of passion or case of the “mehs” doesn’t automatically mean your relationship is beyond repair.

19. Look at the upside of your relationship

Spend a week noticing or writing down all the things your partner does “right.”

Researchers have found that we tend to see what we are looking for. If you’re looking for reasons to be mad or upset with your partner, you’ll probably find them. But this works in reverse, too. Keep your eyes peeled for the good things.”

20. Say ‘thank you’ for the small things

Similarly, don’t just silently observe your partner’s right-doings. When they do something that’s kind of helpful, even if it’s just tidying up the kitchen after a meal, verbally thank them.

21. Have fun together

Sometimes, you just fall into a rut. It might sound cliche, but setting aside some time, even just a few hours, to go do something out of the ordinary can make a big difference.

Psychological research shows that partners who play together experience more positive emotions and report greater happiness.

Try taking a break from the same old routine and spend time participating in novel, uplifting experiences.

keep the spark
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Take a one-time class together.
Grab a deck of cards or a board game you both used to love and head to the park.
Scan your local weekly paper for unusual events. Even if you’re not totally sure what the event entails, make a plant to go check it out together, whether it’s a craft fair or a car show.

22. Maintain intimacy and communication

Establish how to take care of each other emotionally, advises Czajkowska.

What does this actually mean? For starters, commit to giving each other a heads up when it feels like you’re drifting apart. Sit down together and look at what might be causing that. Have you both been wrapped up in work? Has it been too long since you spent the day just enjoying each other’s company?

“Commitment to working on the relationship is just as important as commitment to the partner,” she emphasizes.

There’s no easy answer here. Ultimately, you’ll need to evaluate whether the relationship is worth the work that’s required to save it from a low point.

It’s also wise to make sure everyone involved is committed to saving the relationship. If you’re the only one willing to put in the work, reconciliation probably isn’t likely.

That said, abuse of any kind, whether it’s physical, verbal, or emotional, is a red flag. Keep in mind that signs of toxicity can be quite subtle. Are you walking on eggshells around your partner? Have you lost your confidence or sense of self?

If you have any inkling that you might be experiencing abuse of any kind, considering reaching out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233).

10 Things You Can Do To Improve Your Relationship

Relationships

written by CHRISTINA HUYNH

June 28, 2022

Whether you’ve been dating your partner for a few months or have been married for five years, healthy relationships are built from commitment, mutual respect, and effort. While you probably felt an immediate and effortless spark when you first met, it takes work to maintain that spark as your relationship develops—but don’t worry, it will be the most fun and rewarding work you’ll ever do. While every relationship is different, you can always work to improve your bond, friendship, and intimacy. Try these 10 things to improve your relationship RN.

1. Ask your partner something new

Communication is arguably the #1 determining factor of success for every relationship. It’s nice to ask how your partner’s day went, but it can feel routine when you ask the same thing every day or don’t branch out into new topics of conversation. Enhance your relationship and communication by putting in the extra effort to question your significant other on something more specific. By asking new questions (like “How did you feel about that?” or “What do you prefer doing at work instead?”), you’ll avoid going through the motions, listen more intently to each other, and have more meaningful discussions.

2. Designate a monthly date night

Between both of your busy schedules and nonstop responsibilities, the most foolproof way to guarantee that you’ll make time for each other is to set a night every month dedicated to strengthening your connection and reigniting that spark. Whether you’re looking to spice up your relationship or want to do something together that doesn’t include Netflix, schedule a date. The connection from even one night out can have long-term effects.

3. Say “thank you”

Especially in relationships that have gone on for years and have fallen into routines, we can get so comfortable that we expect our partners to meet all of our needs, whether it’s how they treat us or the daily chores they do. Saying a simple “thank you” for cleaning the dishes after dinner or giving you a compliment enforces their good behavior and makes them feel appreciated as well as helps you remember why you love them. It’s also important to express appreciation and gratitude for them being in your life and how much they mean to you (and not just what they do for you).

4. Schedule a check-in

Scheduling might not seem very sexy and spontaneous, but making sure you’re regularly checking in with each other will keep your relationship strong. It can be easy to let annoyance after annoyance build up until it gets to a full-blown fight, so checking in means fewer fights, more communication, and better connection. After all, a relationship is just two people trying to get their needs met. Use a check-in to discuss any recent triggers, problems, and even all the good things that deserve recognition too. Try doing this monthly, weekly, or even daily, and put it on your calendars so you don’t forget or skip it.

5. Remember the small things

Another way to add meaning to your conversation is to truly listen to what your significant other is saying and then bring up those little things again in the future. For example, if your partner mentions a new pair of shoes that they want, take note of it to gift it to them for their birthday coming up, or if your significant other says they want to try a restaurant you haven’t been to, suggest it for your next date night or surprise them with takeout. The fact that you pay attention to and remember even the minor details that your partner says will show how much you listen, care, and want them to feel loved. Overall, it’s the little things that mean the most.

6. Let go of the past

As a culprit for many potential arguments and the underlying issue for future ones, what happens in the past doesn’t always stay there. But it’s difficult to move forward in a relationship when you’re still thinking about past fights, problems, or issues that you’ve already resolved. If you find yourself continuing to dwell on the past, it might be a sign to take a step back and consider why. Are you naturally less forgiving or is what happened something you can’t seem to forgive? By focusing on the reason for this recurring feeling, you’ll find more clarity within yourself and about what you want from the relationship with your partner.

7. Show your affection

From grabbing your partner’s hand at a restaurant to going to bed together at the end of the night, you know how you feel about your partner, but they should be able to feel it as well. Physical touch goes a long way in keeping romance and connection alive in long-term relationships. Try to avoid physical touch routines, meaning the only physical touch in your daily life is a kiss goodbye or a hug hello (though these are also important gestures). In addition to your hellos and goodbyes, hug them unexpectedly, hold their hand in the car or while watching TV, or even just pat them on the arm to feel close. Physical closeness can translate to emotional closeness.

8. Learn your partner’s boundaries

Does your partner wish to be left alone when they’re upset? Do they mind that you want to text all day long, or do they prefer you call them when you’re apart at night? Is there a certain way they prefer to argue or certain topics they’re not comfortable discussing with you yet? These questions are simple, but the answers to them will help you understand your partner’s boundaries (and stop you from crossing them). Overall, your partner’s needs are most likely different from yours, and knowing their boundaries is the best way to respect them. Have conversations to explain your boundaries to each other, but also pay attention and ask questions to understand them better.

9. Laugh together

Relationships are just friendships with exclusivity. Loving each other is crucial, and liking each other is important too. While the life-partner stuff (like dividing chores) or the romantic stuff (like holding hands) might be top priorities to improve your relationship, remember that the friendship stuff is just as important. Laugh together at least once every day, whether it’s sharing a funny story that happened to you at the grocery store, bringing up an inside joke, or watching the show that makes you both laugh out loud. Laughing not only bonds us but also helps us remember that the point of being in a relationship is to enjoy the person we love.

10. Make time to focus on yourself

How we feel about ourselves is how we’ll act in a relationship. For example, if you lack confidence in yourself, you’ll look for assurance in your relationship, or if you don’t like to be alone with yourself, you’ll need to be around your significant other 24/7. To prevent any toxic behaviors, it’s essential to have a strong sense of self: Invest in a new hobby, make plans with some friends, and take steps in discovering who you are as a person. By falling in love with yourself, you’ll naturally become the best version of yourself for the person who is falling in love with you.

People like Vanka are called butterfly children. Thin-skinned, vulnerable, scarred and sore. Fragile, like a crystal Christmas ball. On which it is necessary to blow with caution. And to take it in your hands - so generally with a soft cloth. You hug a little harder - a blister, then the skin comes off, leaving you naked ...

But this particular Vanka Nikishev is generally a separate case. God knew who to equip this time on Earth with this very epidermolysis. Because Vanka did it. And taught the ancestors. nine0003

The wings of these butterflies will always be fragile, fragile. But the watercolor wings of the foundation are getting stronger every day - to cover as many new subtle creations as possible. And help their families break through the cocoon of isolation and hopelessness.

The car's son had to wake up in the dark from a signal with a power of 80 decibels applied to his ears. Masha waited for this awakening, as the prince waited for the awakening of a sleeping princess. But Igoryasha did not wake up.

80 decibels is the sound of a speeding subway train. The train sped by, but Igor was fast asleep. nine0003

“You are deaf. They won't even pick you up," they were told.

Then the light dawned: a year and a half after the first cochlear implantation, Igor said “mom” for the first time.

We are raising money so that the Melody of Life Foundation can continue to support families, socialize children after cochlear implants and with hearing aids, compensate for the costs of devices and conduct more educational work.

Bonya is twelve years old. He looks like a large domestic British cat - the same round-headed, with red eyes. Bonya has a mother, grandfather, brother and a huge cat. Bonya's mother Lena found in a shelter. nine0003

Foster parents quickly get used to the fact that their children are dissatisfied everywhere. Bonya could not control his emotions. And he couldn't behave. Sooner or later he was simply expelled from everywhere.

And then the Shalash Foundation appeared in the life of Boni and Lena. Bonya went to one of the courses - and stayed that way. And he began to learn to control emotions, follow the rules and trust adults.

The Foundation solves the problem of difficult behavior of children and adolescents: trains teachers, spreads knowledge about the problem, conducts research. nine0003

Tatyana did not want a third child. The birth happened prematurely. Tatyana recovered for several days, having lost a lot of blood after a caesarean section. The husband never visited his wife. It seemed to Tatyana that she did not have the strength to take care of a new life, and she wrote a refusal from the child.

It is a mistake to think that only nonhumans refuse children. Often this is the result of despair - a woman finds herself in such a difficult situation that she does not have enough strength to take responsibility for the child. nine0003

In Tatyana's case, "Aistenok" came to the rescue, the foundation helps women financially, morally and legally. We collect money for "Aistenka" to pay for the work of specialists, utilities in the crisis center.

“For a long time I was oppressed by the thought that my daughter would not be smart,” recalls Evelina. “That our family has swept away all the dreams of the future, that Marina will not go to university, and when she stops being small and cute, everyone will say “fu” about her.”

Marina really did not enter the university. But otherwise, Evelina was wrong. The family immediately got to the people who were the first in our country to start creating a society where people with Down syndrome will have all the opportunities for a fulfilling life. nine0003

We are raising funds for the Downside Up Foundation to continue helping families with children with Down Syndrome to be confident in the future, expanding the employment program and providing free support to people with Down Syndrome.

Olga had a stroke a year ago. She and her husband went out of town to escape from an unknown coronavirus. It was not possible to escape from a stroke.

Her spinal stroke is a rare diagnosis. Olga Vladimirovna shows me a point on the lower back, below which there is no sensitivity. But rehabilitation—stubborn and long—can help. Doctors found for Olga a fund for helping seriously ill adults "Zhivoy". He helps raise money and pays for courses and accommodation in rehab centers. nine0003

The Zhivoi Foundation has been providing assistance and support to adults with serious illnesses and in need of treatment and rehabilitation for 10 years. During this time, 1,541 wards with various diagnoses received assistance. And we help him.

Today, about 45 million people worldwide are diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder. It is characterized by the fact that episodes of happiness are replaced by depression. BAD greatly affects life: because of it, it is difficult to work, study, and maintain relationships with people. The artist Natalya Zolotareva, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, tells:

“It seemed to me that he hypnotized me and pumped out the energy of my loved ones through me. I tried to commit suicide...”

In 2020, Natalia joined the “Chest” inclusive workshop of the “Unification” charity foundation, which helps people with mental disabilities. Natalia hopes that her help will help the center develop. And so are we.

Taxes do not cover all needs. For example, the state does not pay for the selection of a bone marrow donor in the international registry, the required number of doctors' positions in educational institutions, and does not provide systemic assistance to the homeless and addicts.

The state, like any bureaucratic machine, is very clumsy. Even for a person to receive the help they are entitled to by law, it may take several months. This is related to budgeting processes, quotas, tendering procedures. And the introduction of new methods and medicines into the state system can take years, even if officials understand that changes are badly needed. nine0003
Foundations work much faster than the state and help people without waiting for the introduction of new laws. In addition, they themselves achieve change: they promote modern methods of treatment and establish contacts between departments.

None of us should be left alone with problems. Even small monthly donations help us confidently do our job: to tell about the work of honest foundations, help them develop, study social problems and change the attitude of society and the state towards them.
