Experiencing trust issues in relationships? Learn how to build trust and fill your relationship with passion, love, honesty and friendship!


Do you know how to build trust in relationships? The biggest factor is keeping the lines of communication open at all times. I've personally been in a few relationships that made me feel very vulnerable, but what I really wanted was a relationship where I could experience friendship, honesty, passion, love, and most of all feel as if I really had a partner in life.

In order to build this kind of incredible relationship, you need to have safety as well as trust, both of which come with a little risk. If you can feel and express trust, you'll also feel safe.

When I talk about trust, I don't simply mean putting your trust in others; you need to be able to trust yourself, which might be difficult if your past relationships haven't been fulfilling.

Always be honest with your partner; sometimes the truth hurts, but hiding it only makes it worse. If your past relationships were characterized by you biting your tongue because you thought saying what was on your mind might create problems for your relationship, it will probably be tough to start speaking the truth unconditionally. But the only way to build trust between you and your partner is to speak honestly.

It's amazing the way that people can tell things to strangers but not to their partners out of the belief that their partner can possibly hurt them, but a stranger can't. You have to believe that your partner's actions are all done with the best of intentions. That they're not out to hurt you purposely.

If you preoccupy yourself with emotional distress you've experienced in the past or with potential future distresses, you run the risk of eroding any trust you've built in your relationship.
