subject: Do You Know These 7 Ways To Build Trust In A Relationship [print this page] Often in a relationship we try to think of ways to keep spice in our relationship. We also think our partner should do the same thing. But really what make our relationships sound are the things we normally look forward to and expect.
1.) I know your wondering why Im saying you have to be predictable, I know youve heard different. However when we come to expect our partner coming home on time, saying I love you, hug and kiss before bed, etc If these predictable habits were left out , then trust will be disturbed. Makes sense? Surprises are nice but we do need consistencies in order for our relationships to grow in a healthy stable way.
2.) Second make your words match your body language. Our partners know us like we know them. They know when we are happy, sad, upset or angry. So when you say your happy and your body is slumped like your disappointed we cause our partner not to trust what we say. What a terrible thing to be misunderstood over the phone after the trust is gone. Remember when trust is gone it only attract problems.
3.) You must have at least a basic level of trust in your partners competency. Your violating trust if you dont. You must be able to depend on one another. That is the fundamental part of your relationship.
The trust that the other is capable to take care of matters (at least some) for you. And if there is a case that you feel your partner is weak the truth in a loving way is not harmful. But if you dont believe your partner competent you violate trust.
4.) Secrets should not be kept in a relationship. You should always assume they will one day come out. Honesty is the best policy in growing trust in a relationship. It also take the energy you can use building a great relationship.
5.) Let your partner know what your needs are. Dont expect them to be mind readers. We grow as individuals and our needs change. So dont be afraid to tell your partner what you need. But dont be selfish about their needs. If you dont share your needs you may become too smothering to compensate. Not cool.
6.) Learn to say no. When your partner voices his or her needs, that is a good thing. But you dont need to say yes to everything. A partner cannot respect you if you never say no. Refusing to reciprocate to the other persons needs actually builds trust in a relationship.
7.) Always strive for growth. Just like in a business , before it goes to the next level there may be disagreements, arguments, and fall outs. Dont be afraid . This in normal were there is change and growth with anything. Embrace it and grow a successful relationship.
When you decide to work on trust in a relationship, you are bound to encounter minor discomfort. But, as you work through this discomfort, you will not only become stronger as an individual, you will also strengthen your union.
