How To Build Trust In A Relationship - 7 Concrete Tips

Author: S. Williams

Do you think spicing things up will make your relationship stronger? If so you better keep reading this because I have news for you. Sometimes the first things we hear are not always the best answers...like "you have to spice it up" to keep it interesting. When actually being predictable is a better way to build trust in a relationship.

How to Build Trust in a Relationship - Concrete Tip One

Reliability is the key to building your partners trust. Excitement is great, but predictability forges a better foundation in your relationship. Now, you don't want to be boring (yawn) but you do want your lover to feel safe with you...make sense? Surprise them occasionally with different activities, but always be reliable, and their love for you will grow, as you build trust in your relationship.

How to Build Trust in a Relationship - Concrete Tip Two

If you want your partner to feel safe with you make sure your body language matches your words. If you say one thing but your expression, or body language says another. You will be sending a mixed message, and they will lose trust in your words, and eventually you too. If you don't try to hide your true feelings from your partner, you'll build more trust in your relationship.

How to Build Trust in a Relationship - Concrete Tip Three

You need to have actual respect for your partner...if you do not respect them, they will be able to sense this no matter how you talk or act (see tip2). Two people have to have mutual respect for each other in order for this relationship to survive. If your partner feels that you believe their a competent person you will be building a lot of trust in your relationship.

How to Build Trust in a Relationship - Concrete Tip Four

This one is really a "no-brainer" but it needs to be said anyways. You don't want to keep any secrets (short of a surprise trip/gift) from your partner...OK? All the time and energy that goes into keeping a secret could be put to better use. After all when did a lie ever build trust in any kind of relationship?

How to Build Trust in a Relationship - Concrete Tip Five

Open communication is a big key in sustaining a meaningful relationship. If you have something to tell your partner let him/her know what it is. The longer you sit on a problem, the bigger it becomes. Pretty soon it's bigger than both of you and now you're screwed. Don't let lack (or fear) of communication weaken the foundation of trust in your relationship.

How to Build Trust in a Relationship - Concrete Tip Six

Stand your ground...don't be a push over. It's hard to respect someone (see tip 3) if they always bend and never stand up to their partner. He/she will think more of you if you stand your ground once in a while, and fight to be heard. Showing your strong character will actually build the foundation of trust in your relationship much faster, than being a "push over."

How to Build Trust in a Relationship - Concrete Tip Seven

Growth is essential to the survival of just about anything on this planet. Your relationship is no different. Don't be afraid to "get your hands dirty" once in a while. What I mean is do not be afraid to color outside of the lines to make your point. Sometimes you have to be willing to lose your partner by bringing up issues they don't want to (but need to) face. You will actually build their respect towards you while building the trust in your relationship as well.

I hope these seven tips have helped you understand a little more about how a healthy relationship works.

Or better yet; What can you do today to build more trust between you and your partner?

Relationship Breakup Signs...4 Sure Signs

Author: Steve Warren

Has things changed with your partner?  Is there doubt creeping into your mind about your partner?  Just what are the signs of a relationship breakup?

Four signs of a possible relationship breakup

One…space.   Is there a distance between you and your mate that wasn't there before?  You may not understand what it is, but there is just something different.

Two…change in habits.  Does your spouse behave differently?  Does he or she get up earlier, go to bed later, get home later, begins eating alone?  These changes can be widely varied and subtle.  Little changes that are just different.  Maybe, a sudden interest in a totally new subject.

Three…lack of interest in touching.  Have you and your lover always touched when near each other, held hands and showed physical interest in each other, and that suddenly changed?  If a person has lost interest in their mate they no longer want physical contact.  This may include sex, but sometimes guys will still be very sexually active.  After all they are male.

Four…communication.  Do you just not talk anymore?  A change in time spent together talking needs attention.  Has he started reading the paper at the table?  Does she appear too busy to talk when you get home?  People who are interested in each other want to know what’s going on in the other person’s life.

All of the above does not, necessarily, mean your mate is having an affair.  Although, it can.  It could be the spark is just gone.  If that is the reason that can be a quick fix.

Just start dating again.  You fell in love because you spent fun time together.  Spend fun time together again and see what happens.  It can make all the difference in the world.

If the break is more serious we need to get busy and fix this thing before it is too late.  Relationships are complicated things.  But, you are not the first to have problems.  There have been relationship breakups since the first cave man and woman.

The good news is there have been, and still is, a lot of relationship difficulties.  Where there is a man and a woman there is potential for problems.  All this means that with all that history there is a lot of experience in relationships.  Experience you can use to permanently fix your problems with your partner.

Yes, there are therapist with degrees as long as your arm who counsel people on their relationship breakup problems, but if that therapist has never experienced a breakup in their life it is hard for them to realize where the rubber really meets the road.

Someone with personal experience can share on a level no one else can reach. There are many experienced counselors who can lead you back to the perfect relationship with the one you love.

Think about it.  People get back together every day.  You probably know couples who have had a bad split, maybe even a divorce, and now they are as close as peas in a pod.

If it is possible for them it is possible for you.  So, get busy find the right relationship coach for you and your mate, and get back into each others arms again.  After all making up can be great.

The sooner you get started on your relationship problems the sooner you can get back together.  More info can be found at http://www.makeupafterbreakup.com .  Look for the "Free Video".
