Communication is important

Sometimes couples go through a rough period where they get into arguments and they may find themselves asking “can our relationship survive conflict?” Conflict is normal aspect in any relationship. The deciding factor to your question is how the both of you handle the conflict which has threatened your relationship. The key to any resolution process is to work together, in a calm environment, to bring an end to the conflict.

If you and your partner are failing to communicate, then your relationship is really in danger of falling apart.  You need to get your partner to agree to sit down with you and have an honest conversation about what is going wrong in your relationship.

This should not turn into a personal attack on each other, but make sure you talk openly and honestly about the issues that you both have and let your partner know that you want to work with them to strengthen the relationship.

Work together to identify the root problems that you both feel could be damaging your relationship.  You can start by brainstorming and writing everything that comes to mind on a piece of paper.  Then pick out the ones that you both feel have the most impact.  This then will give you a starting point and hopefully you can get things back on track.
