If There’s No Trust In A Relationship How Can There Be Love

If There’s No Trust In A Relationship How Can There Be Love?

When it comes to knowing what it really takes to make a lasting relationship, we’re often wrong. As an example, do you know that it isn’t always necessary to liven things up? Being reliable has greater importance than excitement in building strong relationships. The following eight suggestions will strengthen the bond with your partner by building up the most important ingredient in a relationship: trust.

1.) As noted in the introduction, being reliable is essential. This is contrary to the common perception that things have to be stirred up in order to keep your partners interest. Some variety doesn’t hurt, but trust is the real foundation of a stable relationship. Trust requires believing that your partner will be there through thick and thin. This trust is built through steady reliability every single day.

2.) Your words should never contradict your body language. If you mention that you’re glad about a decision your partner has made but you’re frowning, he or she will immediately pick up on this inconsistency. You shouldn’t keep your partner in the dark about what your true thoughts are because this is a kind of deceit. Trust is built when you always mean what you say and there’s no mismatch between your words and your message.

3.) Always make sure that your actions don’t contradict your words. In this particular case, I’m not talking about body language. If you say one thing, but do something entirely different, your credibility will be nonexistent. This lack of credibility will rapidly wear away the trust in a relationship.

4.) You should always have a very profound belief that your partner is a competent person. Everyone does have their strengths as well as their weaknesses, but overall, you must believe that your partner is competent. Contempt destroys the trust that exists between the two of you.

5.) Don’t keep secrets from your partner. Secrets generally have a way of being discovered eventually. Once it’s been discovered, your partner will wonder about any other secrets that you may have. Trust takes time to build while secrets can demolish trust immediately.

6.) It’s important to make known your needs to your partner. You should not be expecting she or he to guess what it is that you need. Maintaining a healthy balance is important because too much selflessness is as bad as extreme self centeredness. Reluctance to assert your needs denies your partner the opportunity to express love by giving.

7.) Don’t be afraid about the need to say no. A partner who freely expresses her or his needs is healthy. But there comes a time when the appropriate response is saying no. You won’t get any respect if you give in all of the time. Mutual respect is essential for generating trust.

8.) Don’t be afraid of hardship, adversity, or crisis. Few if any relationships are completely free of this. When a crisis has been surmounted, your relationship will become more resilient and strong.
