Steps To Save Your Marriage - Starting 5 Minutes From Now!

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

If you have been married for many years, your marriage may be lacking some luster and fire and you may be tempted to give in. Here are some ideas you can use to rekindle the love in your relationship and make your partner want you more and more and still renew your first love.

With bright colored crayons, draw a couple of stick figures holding hands and walking along the sands in the sunlight. This will be an ideal gift for your partner.

It doesn’t matter if the drawing isn’t perfect but try to make it look as beautiful as you can. Point labels to the two figures with your two names written at the labels. Draw a big heart and write “I love you” or “I still love you” inside it.

Put your creation inside an envelope,seal it and address it to your partner’s office, for example “For the Urgent and Instant Attention of Jennifer Miller, Floor 10, Peter and John Company, LA”. It should be received by your partner at her office in the middle of a tiring and challenging day.

One summer evening, enjoy a picnic together. Bring some chocolates, snacks and champagne. As you enjoy the food, lie down on the blanket and gaze at sky.

Your partner will be astounded if you deliver a long stemmed rose to her door. A short message should be attached such as “Thank you for coming into my life”.

Prepare a box in readiness for that special massage. You will need some massage oil, a sheet of colored tissue paper and a blank card in addition to a small decorated cardboard box. Arrange the tissue paper in the box. Arrange the massage items on a table and write on the card “Fancy a massage? Call this number now (your phone number)”.

Remember childhood memories: Walk into the park with your partner and give her a swing.

In the summer, buy two big water pistols and take them along with you to the beach. Each take one and have a big water fight with your partner.

Discover what your partner always wished for when she was young. Whatever she tells you buy it on her birthday.

While you may not hear this often from relationship consultants, the truth is that many people are able to get back together after a breakup. And it does not hang on what the reason of breakup is, or whether you are the rejected or rejecter. Seldom will you find one party to be completely at fault so that means that there is still room and chance to get your ex girlfriend back.

The truth is you see many people get back together after a breakup regardless of what their stories are. Even ex-convicts and those who are caught cheating on their spouses and dating partners have reversed their breakups and marriage breakdowns.

Why is this the case? You see, the human race behave according to patterns. And there are some successful patterns you can learn from these guys to get your ex girlfriend back.

1. Willingness To Put In Effort

It takes two hands to clap, but in the case of a relationship, someone has to take the initiative. That person will be you.

2. Discovering What Caused The Break Up

The key to reconciliation lies in knowing why both of you parted and making plans to remedy it. When you see the reason clearly, it gives you the level-headedness to think of the follow up action.

3. Be Ready To Change

Perhaps the reason for the breakup is an unwillingness to change. It can be you or her. It doesn’t matter. Learn to accept each other’s faults and shortcomings.

4. Gaining Some Support

Did you know that your mutual friends can be the greatest allies in a breakup? Your friends can secretly and subtly say a good word on your behalf and slowly convince your ex girlfriend that breaking up with you is the worst decision she has made!

5. Avoid Contact While Calming Down

A breakup can invoke serious emotions. Communicating with her right after that is going to be ugly most of the time. All the frustrations expressed in words can end up hurting both of you to the point of no return. Do not call each other until such time when the initial feelings have subsided. This will improve your chance to get your ex girlfriend back.

6. Be Concerned As A Friend

Do this only after you are no longer angry and hurting. This requires you to have a clear mind. Write her a note, or short text message. An email will be fine as well. Be brief in expressing your concern as a friend.

7. Arranging To Meet Up

Once the cooling down period is over, it is probably the best time to meet. Do your homework and work out a game plan of wooing her back. Yes, the relationship will be a fresh one, starting from clean slate. Admit your mistake if you are wrong. Be sensitive and apologize when necessary but not for everything. A simple sorry may just be the magical word to get your ex girlfriend back.
