Most of us think we know what makes a relationship last but we don't always get it right. For instance, are you aware that you don't have to always spice things up in your relationship? Being reliable has greater importance than spice in a relationship. The following 8 tips will solidify the bond with your partner by building up the most important ingredient in a relationship: trust.
1.) As noted in the introduction, predictability is very important. This is certainly contrary to the common idea that things have to be stirred up in order to keep your partners interest. A little variety now and then can help to keep things fun, but the true foundation of a long relationship is trust. Trust requires believing that your partner will always be there for you. This trust is built by being reliable every day of the week.
2.) Always keep in mind that your words should never contradict your body language. If you mention that you're glad about a decision your partner has made but you've got a scowl on your face, he or she won't be fooled by this. You should never hold back on what your true thoughts are because this is a kind of deceit. Trust can only happen when you mean what you say and the message matches your words.
3.) Also be extremely vigilant that your actions don't contradict your words. In this particular case, body language is not what I'm talking about. If you do something that is completely at odds with what you've said, your credibility will be nonexistent. Having no credibility will completely chip away all trust in a relationship.
4.) You should always have a very deep belief in your partner's competence. Yes, we all have our strengths and weaknesses, but overall, you must believe that your partner is competent. If not you're violating the trust in your relationship.
5.) You should never keep secrets from your partner. Secrets generally have a way of being found out with time. After finding out, your partner will continually wonder about any other secrets that you may have. A lot of time is needed to create trust while secrets can completely undo trust.
6.) You must make known your needs to your partner. You should not be expecting she or he to puzzle over what you need. Balance is crucial because too much selflessness is as bad as extreme self centeredness. Keeping your needs to yourself doesn't allow your partner any chance to do some giving.
7.) Don't be too concerned about the need to say no. A partner who freely expresses his or her needs is a natural thing to do. But sometimes the appropriate response is saying no. You will lose your partners respect if you are always yielding. Respect is a crucial ingredient for generating trust.
8.) Don't be afraid of difficulty, turmoil, or crisis. No relationship is completely free of this. When a crisis is successfully resolved, your relationship becomes stronger and experiences growth.
Building trust can be difficult. But a stable and lasting relationship is worth the work. - 14915
