How to Save a Bad Relationship - 3 Questions to Ask

At times when things are not going well with you and your partner you may be asking how to save a bad relationship. It may even be your marriage you are struggling with. When we speak of a bad relationship, there are varying degrees of bad.

 
• First, and I hope this not the case, is physical abuse. This might be a matter of having to get out in order to protect yourself.
 
• Bad can also mean way too much arguing and yelling. This is not a fun way to live.
 
• Or, simply not enjoying each others company like you used to and afraid the relationship is taking a bad turn.

In either of the last two cases we want to try to see what is lying at the root of the issue. Since you are asking how to save a bad relationship then I will presume that at least one of you sees the potential of healing the relationship or marriage.Here are a few simple questions to ask yourself as a start to saving the relationship:

• What things first attracted you to each other and are those still present?
 
• What activities did you enjoy doing together that really formed a bond between you?
 
• What made each of you special to the other in a way no one else did?

When you two first met and were attracted to each other, did you look and act differently than you do now? Most people put on their best look and best behavior when single and unattached. Some of us, however, tend to get lazy and let ourselves go when we are comfortably hooked up with one particular person. This actually shows disrespect and ingratitude for our partner. Apply the same thought pattern to behavior.Wanting to know how to save a bad relationship can really begin by going back to the start and showing the respect and attention to your partner that you originally did.Let's talk for a minute about activities. This is a no brainer. We all know that when we first meet someone that dating and fun things is all we do.
