Are you wondering if you need a relationship rescue service? Are there warning signs that not all is well in your love life? Perhaps your partner is being evasive or non attentive? Perhaps they are busier than normal and not available to go on dates if you are not yet married or come home early if you are?  When you are with them, do you get the feeling they would rather be anywhere else?

Before you panic there could be a million reasons why your partner has gone a little cold on you.  He or she could be worried about their job, money or a health issue. They could have a friend going through a rough patch and be trying to help them. It doesn’t mean, necessarily, that they don’t love you.

In his book, The Magic Of Making Up, T ‘Dub’ Jackson talks about being able to communicate properly. This is one area that can be improved in almost all relationships. Did you know that most couples break up not because of infidelity but because of a lack of communication. They simply can’t or won’t talk to one another.

The problem is that if you do not chat openly about your concerns or worries about your relationship, seeds of doubt are grown and suddenly these seeds become huge bushes. While they were seeds, they would have been relatively easy to work out but now they have grown out of proportion, they become a lot more difficult to deal with.

If you suspect there is an issue in your partnership you need to deal with it as soon as possible.  Ask your partner to meet you for a drink or a meal on neutral territory. If you have kids get someone to babysit as this is important.  Meeting on neutral ground means you are more likely to have a reasonable discussion than a full blown argument.

Don’t attack him or her or accuse them of anything.  Simply talk about how you are feeling in general terms trying very hard to keep any blame out of the equation.  Give them a chance to talk and explain their feelings.  Even if it is your relationship that needs rescuing, they may be very grateful that you have brought the issue out into the open.

Most of the time secrets are not good for relationships.  The people who have been together for forty years will tell you that it takes hard work, mutual trust and respect to keep love alive. By trying to keep the lines of communication open between you as a couple, you go some way towards developing the trust and respect that you need to survive.

Stop second guessing yourself today and take some action. You and only you can resolve this and it won’t happen by putting your head in the sand.  Get a copy of the magic of making up, read it and then speak to your partner. Only by taking action can you prevent a relationship rescue service being required.

How to be a better girlfriend is something us women ask a lot. When you initially get together it is easy to keep the spark alive. You have so much to explore and learn about each other and the sexual attraction should also be very strong.  But when you have been together for a while, the initial lust factor has probably reduced somewhat and you know as much as there is to know.  Life can get a little mundane and this is when danger can creep in.  Most relationships break up due to lack of communication rather than a major problem like having an affair.

So you start wondering how to be a better girlfriend? Perhaps there are some good books you could read to help you spice up your love life. Or, if it is your thing, why not surprise him with a movie?  You could make your own but don’t go overboard as these things have a habit of reappearing when you least want them to. Just ask Paris Hilton!

Becoming a better lover is something we tend to leave to the men to worry about but it is a two way street.  And for such a little word, sex can cause major problems for any couple.  But it is not just about sex. There is an urban myth going around which seems to suggest that men don’t do affection. While they may not do public displays, most love being cuddled or caressed in the comfort of their own homes.

Men like to be appreciated too.  So why not think up a couple of things you could do for him. For example, you could try getting him seats to a game for him and a mate if it is not your thing. Not only are you telling him that you want him to enjoy himself but you also trust him to go out without you and have a great time.  This is important as often men can feel trapped without us women realizing it.  While we want to spend every minute with the man we love, often they couldn’t imagine anything worse.  It is not that they don’t appreciate us but sometimes men need some space. Give him lots of this and he will happily nominate you for girlfriend of the year award.

Men also like their women to be respectful especially when around other men.  Now don’t get me wrong, I am not suggesting for a second that you head back to the 50′s and have his pipe and slippers ready and waiting.  What I mean is that they don’t like their partner to put them down when their friends are around, or to act coarse and unladylike.  It is never attractive when a woman acts like a dockworker but it is even worse when you do so in front of an audience.

So stop wondering how to be a better girlfriend and go apply these tips.  If you are still concerned it would be worth investing in some additional relationship coaching to make sure you keep yours in tip top condition.

Have you lost your boyfriend, and are now asking for help on “how to get my ex back when he’s moved on’? Don’t bother moping, because what you have lost does not mean you have lost it forever. Here are some quick and simple tips for learning how to get your ex back even if he has moved on to another woman and no longer appears to be interested in associating with you.

1 – The first step to getting the man of your dreams back is finding a way to convince him that he still wants you. Unless he really, really does not want anything to do with you, then there are a number of options that you can employ from this point on.

2 – One of the most advantageous things that you can do is simply to be his friend. Make a really good friend to him, showing him that you understand him and that you can be around him without creating any drama. Show him that you can joke around with him and have a healthy friendship with him. When the drama and stress of the relationship and breakup have subsided, he may realize that he wants you again.

3 – When you communicate with your ex boyfriend, be sweet and kind to him but don’t be afraid to have a little bit of attitude. You are going to want him to want you, but you’re also going to want to give him the feeling that he cannot have you just yet. While playing games is not the best way to go, you do not want give an air of hard to get, making him more interested in the process.

4 – You should be playing a little bit hard to get, but you also want to make sure that he knows you are available. You shouldn’t completely rule out the concept of flirting and hanging out with friends, because drumming up a little bit of jealousy never hurt anyone – But it is important that you play it safe because if he doesn’t think you are available, he probably will not find the motivation to pursue you.

5 – Avoid acting desperate at all costs. If you act desperate, your ex boyfriend will under estimate you. You are going to want to play things cool, letting him know that you are okay with everything that has happened, and that you are willing to move on. If you act desperate, things won’t work out the way you are intending them to, so avoid doing this at all costs.

6 – Any time that you know he is looking at you, or if you feel like he is looking at you, look at him out of the corner of your eye. This sidelong glance will let him know that you are paying attention to him, but in a mysterious “you can’t have me” kind of way.

7 – Casually remind him of some of the best times that you have had together. These good memories will help him to remember how good the two of you used to be together. Don’t bring up any bad memories, because it will only hurt his bad side, which will not do you any good.

As you can tell these are simple and down to earth suggestions which will provide just a few of the steps for learning “how to get my ex back when he’s moved on. Once again follow your heart but use your brain to discover other steps which could be effective.

Is your marriage in crisis?  You need to act now and stop putting your head in the sand.  Your problems are likely to become a lot worse if you neglect them.  If your relationship is worth saving, putting some effort in now will be worth it in the long run; even if it makes you uncomfortable.

Not sure how to tackle your problems?  All marriages go through rough spots but with a little bit of effort, respect and understanding most can be saved.  All you need is the know how.  How do you find that?  Well you could book both of you in for some relationship counseling.  But some people cannot talk to strangers so are better off taking advice from an internet dating site or better yet purchasing a course designed to help them save their marriage.

Is it worth the effort?  Well only you can answer that but I am guessing that if you married this person, you loved them once and probably still do.  Real life often gets in the way of our relationships.  We are so busy running around trying to please our family, our boss and our friends that often our partner gets forgotten.  That is a huge mistake. Your other half should always be number one on your priority list.  You cannot have a great marriage unless both of you appreciate the other person and show this appreciation on a regular basis.

Often when couples start bickering it is a sign that both of them are frustrated.  Making love may have become a distant memory.  Sex may be a little word but it is very important to maintain intimate relations in any relationship.  It is the glue that will hold both of you together.  It may not be the same as it was in the early days when you first met but true intimacy develops over time and with a little patience and practice you can recapture that lost magic.

Communication is vital to make any partnership work but particularly a marriage. It is too easy to assume you know what your other half is doing or thinking.  He or she may be under pressure at work or be concerned about the state of the economy and how it will impact on your life.  They may be distracted but it doesn’t mean that they have fallen out of love with you.  It also doesn’t mean that they have been unfaithful or are looking to leave your life.

So why not get a sitter for your kids and ask your partner out on a date. Go to a restaurant and sit down and chat.  Don’t talk about your kids, your finances or your family members.  Pretend you have just met and are trying to impress each other.  Slowly but surely you can revive that spark between you and working together can resolve any issues that are causing your problems.

Hopefully you will soon realize that rather than having your marriage in crisis, you can have a happy relationship with your current partner.
