Finding Help For a Troubled Relationship
So where do you turn for finding help for a troubled relationship? If you and your partner are still on speaking terms, why not get together for a coffee or dinner at your favorite restaurant.
Public meetings are good, because it is a great place to have a calm cool talk about your feelings and are going to be more likely to keep emotions in control.
This is important because you don't want emotions getting the better of you or your partner that will result in your nice calm meeting turn into a center stage wrestling match with chairs being thrown and someone getting tossed onto the announcers table.
Sometimes just some quiet time alone to talk is all that a couple needs to work through the troubles that impact a good healthy relationship.
Our lives are so busy that it is easy to neglect the ones we love and end up ignoring them.
Try a few "just the two of you" nights and it may be all you need to rekindle the flame.
If getting together for a quiet chat with the just the two of you is out of the question, (cue John and Kate plus eight), ask a trusted friend to be a mediator between the two of you.
This may be hard, because you want to pick someone that will remain impartial, with everything being said and be able to not choose sides.
What you are looking for is someone that will allow both you and your partner to be able to discuss openly any problems that you are having.
Someone that has experience in a long term relationship will more than likely have a better understanding of the difficulties you two face.
Single people or someone that isn't in a long term relationship won't have the sort of "field experience" advice you need.
You may not be able to find a friend or family member that fits what you are needing, so the next best thing is to try some couples counselling.
You can find all kinds of different counselling services ranging everywhere to marriage, common law relationship, couples that don't live together you name the type of relationship you are in and there are people out there you can talk to.
the good new for you is that if both of you keep an open mind and are willing to find help for your troubled relationship, you stand a great chance of working out your issues and getting back to the happy couple you once were.
Best wishes on your journey.
