A relationship is a lot like a roller coaster - there are the intense highs of infatuation but also the dramatic lows. At the beginning of a relationship, most of us assume that falling in love will lead to blissful coupledom and, eventually, to a happily-ever-after. In reality, most love journeys are often interrupted by a rut. Maybe you've started taking each other for granted, or your burning desire for each other has faded a little, or you've run out of things to talk about.&nbsp;Whatever it is and whenever it happens, the shift can make you feel lonely and question why you are in the relationship in the first place.&nbsp;But, hold on, before you end things, stop and consider that facing downtime in relationships is inevitable.
Here are some ways to get out of a relationship rut...
Take Responsibility For Your Own Actions 
More often than not, when people are in a relationship rut, they tend to focus on what the other person is doing wrong without taking any responsibility themselves. That can only lead to anger and resentment. Instead, the key is to focus on what you want and how you can contribute to making that happen.&nbsp;Think about what you would like to improve in the&nbsp;relationship and ways you can do that.

Reconnect With Your Partner 
It could be something as small as sharing a cup of coffee and asking about their day, or something big as talking about what they're really thinking and feeling.&nbsp;Take an interest in their perspective, and talk to them about what's been worrying them and what they want.&nbsp;This way, you can focus on larger shared goals and visions, and work your way towards them while building a connection.
Check For Stress Points 
There are many factors that can lead to a breakdown in communication. Maybe one of you has been under a lot of stress at work; one of you might be concerned about a family member, or dealing with other issues. Regardless of the cause, if one of you is anxious and overwhelmed about something, it can be incredibly difficult to focus on the other.&nbsp;Identifying such factors and figuring out how to make your dynamic better could help.
