3. When pinpointing issues look further than just the symptoms. Symptoms can range from arguing to one or the other partner straying into infidelity. Instead of accusing the symptom look at why the problem is occurring. It could be a lack of intimacy has developed, work stress has forced you to "take your eye off the ball", or you're simply not spending enough time together.

4. This is an important step. Once the issue or issues have been identified some quality discussion needs to take place, including the sharing of thoughts. Don't hold back because in this time of truce, a lot of suppressed feelings can be let out and gotten rid of. Even go as far as to look each other in the eye and hold hands when sharing your thoughts. Make sure you listen to each others concerns.

5. The next step in saving your relationship is coming up with a plan together and putting it into practice. Now we don't know you or your situation but some things you could implement is organizing a date night or two a week, planning a bed and breakfast getaway together once a month, spending a set amount of time each night just discussing things or spending time talking just before you go to bed.
