Knowing how to build trust in your relationship is extremely important and must be nurtured over a period of time to enable the relationship to work. Building up that trust obviously takes time and it’s not always the first things that springs to mind that will help to make the relationship work.
Being predictable is a good opener if you want to build up trust in a relationship between you and your partner. Being reliable each and every day is far more important than trying to liven things up and while an unexpected trip out is nice now and again, it’s the everyday reliability that is really doing the job for you and your partner.
Ensure that what you say matches your body language. Verbal and non verbal communication plays a part here and so you really must make sure that your body language tells the same story as your verbal communication.
You partner obviously needs to be able to trust what you say and when your body language and your words tell the same message, then you are going to be building trust in that relationship.
A fundamental belief in your partner’s competency is needed as well for the relationship to survive. If this belief is not present then trust in the relationship will not blossom.
Don’t keep secrets from your partner what ever else you do. Secrets have a nasty habit of eventually coming to the surface and so be open and honest with each other. Talking to each other and discussing these secrets will prevent the trust in a relationship being destroyed if one does suddenly pop up to the surface.
Tell your partner know what you need from them. They cannot mind read neither can they guess so do tell them. Don't be selfish about your needs and don’t be reluctant to say what your needs are, because if you are, you may well find yourself going too much the other way and smothering your partner.
When your partner voices their needs, learn to say no. You don’t have to say yes all the time and indeed if you do say yes to everything that they suggest then your partner will find it difficult to respect you when eventually you do say no.
Working on your relationship and learning to build trust in a relationship, can bring you some painful experience. Work with your partner through this pain, your relationship will flourish as you continue to build trust into that relationship.
