Talk with your partner and NEVER about your partner. Tell your partner how you really feel, be honest and as you talk have the attitude to listen too. Often times our mistakes is we talk and talk all the time and I mean ALL. THE. TIME and we listen to so many people but fails to listen to who really matters, our partner!!!
3. FIX

And by fixing I mean try to find some compromise. For a relationship to work we have to be more selfless and think of others too. Try to work with what are negotiables. Choose your battle, choose to fight wisely.
We strongly believe that the Lord who have brought the Israelite out of Egypt and the Lord who had promised Sarah a child is the SAME GOD we have today, and by His Grace he has sustained us and ONLY HE can save our relationship.
