Today, I'd be talking about HOW TO BUILD TRUST IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
I have come up with MY 5 step-by-step method:
1. Vulnerability
2. Communication
3. Boundaries
4. Appreciation
5. Loyalty
These tips are for people WHO HAVE GOOD AND KIND PARTNERS (It is hard to build trust with someone who isn't sincere. That's a special case)
To our tips:
1. Vulnerability: How well do you open up about your deepest parts to your partner?
If you are not vulnerable, you can't be REAL, and if you're not REAL, it might not be easy to build trust.
It is not a PRIVILEGE to tell your husband/wife/fiance about your life, it is a RIGHT!
You MUST tell them!
So, this is why we say "Choose well" so that you can share with someone worth it.
2. Communication: When you tell your partner about everything without keeping secrets, it aids trust. Communicate about your feelings, likes, dislikes and so on...it builds trust.
Communication and trust are closely linked in relationships. Effective communication can help build trust, and trust can encourage open communication.
When both partners trust each other, they may feel more comfortable sharing their feelings and being honest without fear of judgment. This can lead to a stronger relationship and a more fulfilling connection.
3. Boundaries: You can't be calling every other opposite gender "my love" and be doing romantic things to them, yet saying you want to build trust.
Don't do things that will give your partner high blood pressure or room for suspicion.
Run away from dishonesty or flirting. It is harder to build trust when you are always doing suspicious things.
4. Appreciation: When you express gratitude sincerely, your partner feels appreciated, and in turn, trusts you better.
When you notice good things about your partner and compliment them, it fosters positivity in your relationship.
This positivity can help reduce stress in your life and promote relaxation, which can be beneficial for building trust. Appreciating your partner can also help improve communication between the two of you.
Texts, love cards, gifts and other means of expressing gratitude aids trust.
5. Loyalty: This one!
It means that when your partner tells you things, you don't go about telling everyone else.
When they open up about their weaknesses, you don't use it against them tomorrow.
When you help them, you don't claim they can't live without you.
When they confide in you, you don't expose them...
When they GIST you, you don't act somehow to the person they gisted you about 🥰
These things can cause your partner to have difficulties in trusting you.
Building Trust is INTENTIONAL and it's a PROCESS. Do not rush it.
