Why not start out by talking over your problems and on of the best places to choose is your favorite restaurant where there are always lots of people.  You aren’t going to dare to shout at each other because you will be afraid of disturbing other people at tables near to yours.

A few nights like this, just the two of you may be all that is needed to sort things out in the relationship.  Everything is so hectic today that it is so easy to neglect our partner quite unintentionally and a few discussions can usually straighten this out. 

When you can’t talk on your own with our partner, why not try to find a friend who both of you respect or a family member who can arbitrate between the two of you.  It is often difficult to find the right person as the last thing you want is someone who is not totally impartial.

This person must help you both talk openly about your difficulties.  This arbitrator has to a person who has been in a long term relationship.  Someone who is single may well understand the theories but lack the practical experience which will enable them to give the right advice. 

To find a friend or family member who is competent to be able to help you is often difficult.   You feel that your problems are too personal to discuss in front of someone you know well.  In this case why not look at couples counseling. These services are not only avail able for couples who are married. 

When searching for an advisor, go on personal recommendation if this is at all possible.  You may be able to get a suggestion from the family priest or your local doctor.  When you meet your counselor, ask him if he has any testimonials from satisfied customers.

If at all possible both of you should meet the counselor so that both of you are sure to feel at ease in front of them.  You want to be sure that you can discuss intimate details in front of them and this will not be possible if you don’t get on together.  You will probably meet them for joint sessions with your partner as well as individual discussions.  Before starting you should ask how many meetings you will have to attend and when you should start to expect visible results.

When both of you agree to seek counseling advice there is a pretty good chance that you will be able to sort your problems and get back to being happy together again.

In this day and age, counseling has shown itself to be a completely respectable choice.  Fifty years ago, for example, it may have been frowned upon as not being something that was done, but times have changed.  Many marriages that have gone for say thirty years or more only to end in divorce, could probably have been saved had a little professional outside help been sought.

If you think relationship counseling is for you, you must both go for it in a frame of mind void of recrimination.  Don’t be accusing with your partner, when you talk of the difficulties you are both encountering, or they are never likely to accept to take such help. Perhaps you can convince them by saying that you particularly want the counseling yourself if for no other reason.

Get your partner to agree to relationship counseling as there are some things you both need to think about and improve, and they will be more positive towards such an approach.  Even if you consider that the problems come from your partner, there is no need to tell them so.  It is better to say you want assistance in how to become a better partner and mutually improve your relationship.  When you get into the counseling you will both learn  the little things and methods that can help both get on better with each other 

Regardless of how long you have been together, relationship counseling is always an option that is open for you.  It is never too late or too early to get outside advice that will add more to your relationship and make you a better partner.   You don’t necessarily take counseling because you are thinking of splitting up or your relationship is in a bad way; far from it.  Settling your problems by counseling or other methods, can only make your relationship more solid in the long term.

Should your partner consider your suggestion of outside help means that you see problems ahead or you consider your affair will not work out, explain to them that this is just not the case. You are trying to improve your relationship and please your partner, even when some things may need to be modified.

If your partner does not want to take such advice you should take it on your own¸ although it would clearly better if you went together.   Set about bettering yourself.   When your partner sees how you doing on your own, they may well decide to try it themselves
