KCB Readers (9 Ways You Can Restore A Broken Relationship With Your Partner)

This happens to most of us, we meet someone, its great for about 6 months, suddenly their attitude begins to change. They are not as sweet as they used to be. In fact barely 9 months into the relationship, the spark is gone and all you want is out of the relationship. We totally understand that stage, before you make that decision, check out our 10 ideas for reviving your dying relationship:

1. Check Yourself: Familiarity they say breeds contempt. It’s possible that while the relationship was blossoming, you had started relaxing in some of the things you used to do when you guys met initially and now, it’s beginning to look like the relationship isn’t the same any more.  So it’s important to check  yourself first

2. Have A “Truth Moment” With The Person You Care About: Sometimes, it’s good to talk these things out. You’ll be amazed at what you’ll hear. Not to make excuses but your partner might be going through personal or work related issues and some people just don’t know how to share. Let you partner know that you are getting uncomfortable with the growing distance.

3. Go On A Romantic Getaway:  as we all know, life in Nija is sweet, yet hard. Hustling sometimes makes us lose touch with the romantic part of our lives. Take a weekend off. Just two of you, no phones, no internet. Just two love birds bonding.

4. Desist From Nagging: while trying to salvage the relationship, desist from nagging as this might worsen issues.  Be calm about it, understand your partner rather than nag. Compliment rather than complain. Remember you started the relationship for a reason.

5. Occasionally Send Surprise Gifts:  throw a little more fun into the relationship monotony is boring and variety we know is the spice of life. Stop the usual boring morning and night phone call. Stop by at their office sometimes, take them out for lunch. Just do something out of the ordinary

6. Avoid Discussing Your Relationship Issues With Everyone:  Except of course your relationship is a global one. The truth is everyone has their issues and not everyone has the right answers to give because they are not in the relationship with you. Too many cooks also do spoil the broth. Having too many friends give their thoughts on your relationship issues might be confusing.

7. Stop Having Distractions Around You: Having too many opposite sex who are trying to woo you or probably you are wooing isn’t good for the relationship.  Believe it or not, no matter how you try, you can’t control feelings.  Stop feeling like you are on top of the game. Remain loyal to your partner and enjoy your moments together. 

8.  Give Them Some Space At Times: Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Allow your partner miss you for couple of days before you see each other again This way, you have much more to share when you finally get to see. The idea of also knowing you are still capable of missing your partner helps to reassure the relation. Please, do not confuse this with ignoring your partner.

9. Love Unconditionally:  This cannot be overemphasized. Love conquers all. You fell in love before, you can do it again. Just let go of every sentiments and anger and you will be on your way to a magical forever after
