Here are 3 things that both you and your honey should do every day to foster that warm fuzzy feeling of trust between you!
1. Keep your word. Even if you're just going down the street to pick up some milk and you tell your guy you're going to be home in 20 minutes, don't call him 2 hours later with a story about what happened and why you didn't keep your word. A big part of trusting someone is knowing that what they're telling you is the truth.
2. Don't open old wounds. Every couple has arguments, resentment and things that have happened in the past that neither is very proud of, but if either one of you keeps rehashing it in every argument you have, it's not going to make things any better and it certainly won't build trust, especially if you've promised each other that what happened in the past stays in the past. When you keep bringing it up, it's like you lied to your partner when you told him you wouldn't dredge up past hurts.
3. Don't overreact. Say you find out that your guy has done something that you don't agree with. Instantly, you are angry because you consider whatever he's done to be insensitive, hurtful, etc. Wait! Before you react, stop and count to 30, take 3 deep breaths and look at the situation. Was is really as bad as you thought? Your partner has to be able to trust that when you have an argument or disagreement, you're not going to fly off the handle and end the relationship. The bottom line is that building trust isn't easy, but there are things you can do to make it happen. All it takes is a little practice and a loving heart!
