When relationships get too hard, the first inclination for many is to "get out" as implementing change is a lot of work. Conflicts seem never-ending, disconnection seems to be the "norm," and intimacy seems to dwindle. This could overwhelm even the strongest of relationships. This combination puts many couples in crisis mode. However, the Chinese character for "crisis" actually represents the words "danger" + "opportunity."
The "danger" of the relationship failing leads to many "opportunities" for change, for growth, for a better outcome. There is the "opportunity" to work on being a better person for yourself and the relationship... the "opportunity" to heal deep-seated, emotional wounds to be a better partner... the "opportunity" to better define and express your needs to your partner so you can determine how to best move forward within the relationship.
So, try looking at the "crisis" in your relationship as an "opportunity" to make positive change.
