I was listening to the radio on my way home the other day when this Colbie Caillat song came on. I don’t know the name of the song, but the lyrics go something like:
“If you just realized, what I just realized, you’d know that we were perfect for each other”
These lyrics express feelings that I think we’ve all had at some point in our lives. There is longing, there is desire, there is loss, desperation. Just about the entire gamut of human emotions to a love lost.
The thing is, that eventhough the feelings are universal, the longing and desperation expressed in the lyrics are not going to help the object of your affections come to the same realization.
There’s no need to be desperate, there is however a need to be resourceful and have the upper hand, even if you are the one that got let go.
Keep your wits about you, and have a strategy. You need to have a strategic and tactical plan of action for saving your relationship.
All of this got me to thinking about my friend Ivan and his now wife of 7 years.
Back when they were dating, they hit a rough patch, like so many couples do.
They are both dear friends of mine, and I hated seeing them apart. I knew then, like I know now, that they were meant to be together.
In the end, I think that they really just needed a short break from each other.
Eventually, they each came to a point where they each realized that they were perfect for each other. This is where it gets interesting.
My friend Ivan had a plan of action. He never pleaded, never begged, he always kept his head level and his wits about him. That was the key. They each had their list of “have to haves” and by talking things through, they came back together.
Now, years later, I came across T Dub’s Magic of Making Up ebook, and the thing is essentially a guide that will help you come up with a strategic and tactical plan of action. What won me over, was his plan for getting your ex to call you back. It totally works.
I just wanted to write about this, since the song just sort of rubbed me the wrong way and I needed to get it out of my system.
So now you have an idea about what to do, but what are the steps to help get you there? I’ve teamed up with TW Jackson to offer you T Dub’s book called <a href=”http://www.relationshipequation.com”>The Magic of Making Up</a>. You can download the book at http://www.relationshipequation.com/
