Have you ever wondered what the number one thing you can do to help a broken relationshp is? Many people have and if there was one single answer to this question then there wouldn't be as many broken relationships out there. If there was one area that you could focus on that could help fix a broken relationship it would be consistency.

Consistency means acting in a constant, reliable and stable way. Relationships can become troublesome when one or both people involved in the relationship begin to act inconsistently from their norm. They suddenly do things they weren't doing before or react to situations that they never reacted to before. If the actions and reactions are in a positive light then they are usually not a problem. More often than not these inconsistencies are on the negative side.

If you partners behaviour begins to change such as coming home late without a phone call, making more frequent plans to do things without you, or becoming short with you for no apparent reason then this will likely cause some friction in the relationship. The consistency has changed. This begins to raise questions as to why has it changed.

Changes in behaviour or in what were once consistent actions and reactions may also raise trust issues, especially if your partner is not forthcoming as to why the changes have occurred. Changes like this are suspicious and they may be trying to hide something. Remaining consistent in your actions will help avoid these suspicions.

It is important in a relationship to be yourself and not who you think you should be for the other person. If you are trying to be someone you are not then it will become increasingly more difficult to remain consistent in your behaviours and actions as the relationship develops. As the relationship grows you will be faced with situations that may challenge who you really are, not the person you are trying to be. This will ultimately force you to behave differently than what your partner is used to and your actions will no longer be consistent.

Always try to remain consistent in the interest level you have for your partner. In the beginning of the relationship it is easy to show special interest in what your partner is into just because everything is so knew. As the relationship lingers on we have a tendency to drift from our partners and we no longer pay special attention to what they are interested in. Make it a point to consistently show interest in their likes and dislikes.

To summarize the number one thing you can do to help a broken relationship is to be consistent in your actions, your behaviours, in who you are, in how you treat your partner and your interest level in your partner and what he or she likes.
