We all go through the "dry" stage of a relationship: the part where your relationship has no taste, there is no more sweetness to it, and many of us become very vulnerable at this point because we wish we knew some things that could save your relationship and make it stronger. Just because you’re at this point does not mean your relationship is doomed forever. Here are 7 things that could save your relationship and make it stronger.

1. Communication
I am pretty sure you have heard this one many, many times before, but trust me it works. Communicating with your partner without having disagreements is not unusual. It’s normal! It doesn’t mean your partner isn’t right for you just because they disagree, it means that you should learn from this and know that your partner may have different views. Talking to him about how you feel is the BEST of all of the things that could save your relationship and make it stronger.
2. Throw Ego out the Window
We all have an ego; some of us show it and some of us don’t. This is your partner we are talking about here. Forget about the ego; forget about who calls who first or who makes the first move. If you really love him, drop the ego and go for it.

3. Spend Time Together
Whether you are living together or not, take some time to be together, and have some one on one time even if you are busy. You don’t have to go to an expensive restaurant or anything, do something simple like watch a movie together and cuddle up on the couch.
4. Stick Together
There are going to be arguments that may seem like this is the end but if you want the relationship to work, stick together. Don’t throw in the "I’m done" or the "It’s over" when you are angry. Breaking up is not the best way to go with ending an argument. Maybe take a break, spend some time apart but don’t change your relationship status just like that because of an argument.
5. Make Passionate Love
Maybe forget about the fun and kinky sex positions for a bit and bring the roses and candles into your bedroom. Try the classic missionary instead of the sexy cowboy. Not only does this make things more romantic but it brings back the love you two found in the beginning.
6. Go Back to the Very Beginning
Do things you did for him when you first started dating. Go on dates, send cute texts, give him surprise visits if you don’t live together, do anything. Fight for him, win him over, all over again.
7. Bring in the Romance
Do cute little romantic things for him, or do it together. Make breakfast in bed, the classic dinner and a movie, surprise presents, roses and candles, anything romantic. It would be nice and essential to show your partner how much you love them out of the ordinary.
Being in a relationship isn’t easy. We go through ups and downs and sometimes it might need some saving. These tips have helped me and a lot of people I have known in the past and I hope these tips help you out as well. Have you tried any of the tips listed above and come out stronger than ever as a couple? I would love to hear your story .

Jannelly: Of course it's never easy!!! It's horrible when you have to put your ego down or to be the one that has to initiate everything.....now a days if you want a long term relationship, you must put a lot of effort, there is too much temptation
Martina: I have. Pretty negative perspective and it fears me that just by my idiotic though i might lose him any advice please? Thanks
TheYellow1: All basic things most of us as functioning men and women should know, but sadly we don't know, and therefore goes our relationships!

Elysium: You forgot " leave in laws out of your relationship" Lol this is my bigger issue with hubbs!! :((
Agneta: @Fuego party I used to be very jealous too, to that degree that I could see how stupid it was, but still kept doing it. What I did was to simply push it down every time it rose, by telling myself that I wasn't thinking rationally, and my beloved shouldn't have to suffer for that. Every time I felt jealous for something, maybe too much time spent with friends, I told myself that it was good that we weren't the only thing in the world for each other, and I had no right to complain, even if I was the girlfriend. I did spend a lot of time with my friends too, etc!
Lynaah: What happens if your boyfriend accuses you of something that never happened or doesn't trust you? Or always doubt you constantly? Can it still be saved?
Wendy: This is great
