Most couples experience stormy weather in their relationship at one point or another in their lives. 

This is very natural because there are a lot of factors that can create conflicts between couples and at times, nobody wants to give way. 

This is where most of the relationship problems start, when both partners do not recognize their faults and shortcomings and both are trying to point out that they are right and it is always the other who is wrong. 

However, conflicts should never be reason enough to end a relationship. There are still simple ways that can be done in order to achieve a successful relationship rescue.

  • Communicating with your partner: Communication is one of the most effective keys to complete a relationship rescue plan. This should always be included in the list as more and more couples these days broke up without even acknowledging the real reason why things didn’t turn out the way they expected them to be for their relationship. So when things are getting somewhat out of hand, partners should talk things over and voice out their sides and open up their grudges before everything is too late. Through communication, both will have a clear picture of what is going on, why the conflict is happening, and what relationship rescue methods can be done to surpass this period.
  • Know when to keep quiet: Although silence could not be the best solution for an effective relationship rescue, it does contribute a lot so as the problem will not aggravate. Most often, when couples are having conflicts, they tend to talk too much, thus, they neglect one of the most important parts of a relationship and that is listening. Partners should know when to keep quiet during a heated argument. It is not a good idea to raise voices, shout at each other, and worse, resort to physical violence to silence the other. When both are angry, they should let their heavy emotions subside first before speaking because more often than not, an angry person speaks even without sense and never takes any reason. 
  • Spend time alone for a while: If communication and keeping in silence did not work as part of the relationship rescue scheme, spending time to be alone could be the best thing to do for the meantime. Conflicts have two effects: one is to strengthen the relationship and two is to break the relationship. If these conflicts repeat in circles every day, the tendency is that both partners will be fed up, and thus the first thing that comes to their mind as a solution is to end the relationship. However, this can be prevented if both have some space for a while and try to reassess their feelings and realize where their mistakes are. This can be an effective relationship rescue method because sometimes people realize the importance of their partner when he or she is not around.
