Mending a relationship

Relationships are essential to our life. You have so many relationships with different people in your life. They can range from your spose or significant other to the mailman who delivers your mail everyday. But how do you begin to mend a relationship that has gone bad?

Take things slowly. For the couple that is in a rocky relationship or has spent a generous amount of time being seperated, time is key. Do not force or hurry the relationship. Let things just happen. Spend more time together, go out for dinner together,or watch a movie. Remember what is was about this person that made them so irresistable to you in the beginning. Set aside time for just the two of you and stick to it. Start with a "clean slate" and find ways to improve your trust and communication. Don't believe that the problem will fix itself. Seek professional help if it is necessary.

Take responsibilty for YOUR actions. Was this relationship hurt because of something you done but are too proud to admit you were wrong? If this is the case, make ammends with those people and admit wrong-doing on your part. Remember the best way to "make" other people change is to evaluate youself for flaws and work on changing you, NOT them.

Be thankful for the people you have in your life and never let a single day cause you to regret something. Love those people in your life and work on building strong, productive relationships.
