                  5 Keys to Building and Maintaining a Trusting Relationship

This article, 5 keys to building and maintaining a trusting relationship, is one of the most important relationship articles you will ever read.  Why?  Because trust is the most important attribute found in any relationship, particularly marriage. If you don’t have trust, you don’t have the basic building blocks for a true relationship.

So what are the 5 keys to  building trust in a relationship or marriage?

1.  Always be honest and open with your partner. This might sound very basic, but keeping secrets from your partner is devastating to a relationship. Secrets drain the lifeblood out of a relationship. In your marriage vows, you make a commitment to share your life with your partner. This leaves no room for secrets. Sharing information with your partner forms bonds and engenders teamwork and trust. Isn’t this what you want in your relationship? So don’t keep secrets!

2.  Let your body language and your spoken words convey the identical message. Communication is conveyed more through body language than through actual spoken words. For example, if you scream at your beloved, “I love you”, do you think they’ll believe you? Probably not. But if you tell them, “I love you”, in a soft loving tone, they will know you are sincere and truthful. So be sure that your spoken words match your body language. If they do not, how then will your partner be able to trust you?

3.  Communicate to your partner what your needs are. Don’t leave them guessing as to what you want or what you expect.  Regardless of how long you’ve been together, be assertive enough to ask your sweetheart for what you want.  A relationship is a mutual fulfilling of needs. If your needs aren’t met, you might seek someone else to fulfill them. Of course this doesn’t mean you always say yes to your partner’s demands. You will not earn your partners respect if you always say yes. Just remember, you are not their slave, but their equal partner.

4.  Always make your partner feel important. After all, are they not the most important person in your life? So trust them to make competent decisions. How can you build trust if you don’t allow your beloved to learn and make mistakes? Don’t look over their shoulder or give them step-by-step instructions when something important needs to be done. Trust them to do the right thing, even if things don’t turn out perfectly. If your husband or boyfriend says he’ll make dinner for you and your parents, trust him to do it right.

5.  Be dependable and predictable. If you tell your spouse you’ll be home for dinner at 6:30 pm, do it. If you normally come home from work everyday at 5:50, then call your lover if you’re going to be late. Be predictable when you are expected to be. Now this doesn’t mean that you can’t surprise your sweetheart with some flowers or candy, or a night on the town. There is no problem with trying new things, going to different places, and spicing things up a little at times. Just remember that for a relationship to thrive it needs consistency and stability. You engender trust through daily reliability.

Building and maintaining a trusting relationship is a daily growing dynamic entity. And like every flower that flourishes, it will change throughout its lifetime. There will be pain and turmoil. There will be questions and confusion. But maintain the course. The end result is always worth it! And never forget that you love your partner, and that they are the most important person in the world to you. If you follow these 5 keys to building and maintaining a trusting relationship, you can and will build a trusting union.
