1. Do we both have the time to make this relationship actually work?

While spending time with each other is crucial in a relationship, there are many components of life in which people have to devote time because it's their responsibility. This is where working couples tend to have a problem because once they are concentrated with their careers; they lose time, focus, and eventually interest towards the relationship.

Commitment is an important part of a relationship and this is what most working couples lack. Most of the time, they would even ask themselves if they will need to end the relationship because they do not have the luxury of time for each other. It can be quite tiring and frustrating for your significant other after countless promises that you'll call them back or take them out on a date but you simply can't because you are occupied from working.

If you think fixing the relationship and choosing to stay with your significant other is the right thing to do, talk to your partner and analyze how you can sort the problem out. Just be sure that the solution begins with you by not "trying to find time" but by "making time" for your relationship.

2. Am I willing to work things out for the better?
 
Breaking up is not easy, especially if you still have feelings for your partner. No matter how angry you maybe and you still love the person, it is always better to patch things up and find a solution for your broken relationship. Do not walk out or ignore your significant other and try to understand where they are coming from instead. If everything else fails, at least you know you did everything to fix your relationship.

3. My partner broke my trust. Should I try to forgive and forget?
 
Trust is one of the major components in a relationship because without it, a relationship would simply not work. According to statistics, lying, cheating and infidelity are the most common reasons why couples break up. If your partner broke your trust, ask yourself these questions to determine whether to rebuild or end the relationship:
 
Do I still love my partner?
Am I ready to start the relationship all over again?
Am I ready to forgive and entirely trust my partner again?
Is my partner a compulsive liar?
Why did my partner do this to me?
 
If you keep hearing from other people that your significant other has been cheating on you, confront your partner immediately. After all, where there's smoke, there is fire. If after several attempts of fixing the situation and yet your partner still lies to you, ending the relationship would be the best solution.

4. Do we still have that spark after all these years?
 
Like trust, communication is another important factor in a relationship. It is vital in a relationship that you know each others' needs and wants which can only be achieved through effective and constant communication. The lack of it would definitely result to fights and misunderstandings. If your partner seem to undervalue and take you for granted and you really tried to communicate to fix things but to no avail, move on because you deserve a better partner.

5. My partner's family doesn't like me. Should we go on with this relationship?
 
Sometimes, the relatives and family of your significant other can affect the relationship because besides you, these are the people who truly love and care for your partner and vice versa. Any type of conflict, whether big or small, can sometimes affect your decision that may lead you to end the relationship.  Before you do that, ask yourself how important your partner is in your life and what will be your losses and gains without your significant other.  

6. Our priorities are different. Should I let go?
 
Usually, wants, plans and priorities in a relationship may undergo changes as time passes. This is also one of the reasons why couples break up and consider ending the relationship. Are you:

Willing to adjust your goals for your partner?
Can you work it out in a common point?
Are you both exerting enough effort to take interest in each others goals and dreams?

These questions can help you make a conclusion if it is worth a try making the relationship work.
