Relationship Rescue - Can You Both Dance?

Image via WikipediaWhile it's never too late to turn a relationship around, the longer you wait the harder it will be to change course in direction of where your relationship is heading. Try to nip problems in the bud before they become deep-rooted patterns of behavior, which will become much harder to deal with down the road.

It is nearly impossible to fix trouble in a relationship if you are the only one trying. Look at your relationship as if it where a dance. They face each other, standing close and gaze into each other's eyes. Their left hands touch, he puts his right arm around her waist and she puts her right hand on his shoulder. He leads in step and she follows, keeping in step and moving across the dance floor in harmony as if you both were one. It takes two to tango and of course, this can only be done if both partners are on the same page, dancing the same dance.

The ballroom is the world around you, the dance floor is the everyday tasks and challenges you both face. Ask your partner to dance, embrace each other, glide through the tasks and step over the challenges. Doing this together as if it where a dance may give each of you a new and positve perspective. Is it possible that matters are not as bad as they once seemed?

Attitude is everything, a good attitude produces positive results. The dance metaphor denotes a joyful or light hearted attitude, which is what people have when they dance.

So, if you feel up to it and I hope you do. Ask your partner if he/she will forgive and forget. Clear the slate and make ready the dance floor. You and your partner could actually go a step further and take ballroom dance lessons, have fun!
