How many times has this question been asked? There are many relationships that ended in a breakup that could have been saved if the couple had stepped back to look at what was going on between them. They may have been able to see that what they were doing was the wrong way to fix their problems.
One of the first things a couple needs to work on is good communication skills. If the two of you can’t communicate effectively, how can you hope to resolve any issues you may have? If you have problems with your boyfriend, can you talk to him and have a decent exchange of ideas or does it turn into a screaming fight?
If a couple has been together for a while, they can get to the point where communication starts to fail, this is something you need to constantly work on. Even talking together about the events of the day, how things are going at work, and what’s going on in the world are topics that help you get started. Don’t go home and each of you do your own thing without much interaction.
To keep talking, you must be a good listener. This is when you listen to what the other is saying and pick up what is going on in their world. If your partner has something to tell you, give them the respect to pay attention or you may miss something very important. Again, as a couple that has been together for some time, listening skills can fail, sometimes called selective hearing.
Work on your communication skills and you can avoid having to fix a bad relationship. Problems will arise, but since the two of you can talk to each other, problems are easier to fix.
