Building Trust in Your Relationship - 4 Ways to Do So

Do you know how to build trust in your relationship? A lot of times, what we think will make a relationship work is not really the most important element. For example, you may think there is a need to be romantic every single day.

Well, it will be nice if you have the stamina to do so, but it is not necessary the most important element for a lasting relationship. What is more important is being predictable most of the time, which implies you are dependable. Of course, it also helps to spice up the relationship by being unpredictable once in a while.

Here are a few tips you can use to build trust in your relationship.

1) As mentioned above, predictability is important in the building of trust. Ultimately, you want a reliable partner, don't you? You do not want to keep on guessing what you partner is going to do next. It can get quite tiring.

2) Make promises and make sure you keep it, no matter how small it is. For example, if you say you are going to wash the dish, make sure you do it. If you say you are going to take out the garbage, make sure you keep your promise. If you don't keep small promises, people can't trust you to keep big promises.

3) If you want your partner to trust you, you should trust your partner too, unless you have any reasons to believe otherwise. Nothing kills a relationship more than a partner who doesn't trust you.

4) Don't keep secrets. Unless it is something that is confidential and work related, there is really nothing you shouldn't tell your partner about. Of course, there are certain things that are better left unsaid. For example, you probably don't want to tell your wife that she has a pimple on her forehead if she is absolutely fanatic about how she looks.
