People keep complaining about how much their partner don’t trust them, but they fail to understand that trust isn’t just given — it’s earned. If your partner doesn’t trust you, then it’s because of certain things you have done or some important things you don’t do.
Interestingly, trust isn’t that hard to be earned; all it needs is consistency and commitment from you.
This is how to earn your partner’s trust:
1. COMMUNICATION
Communication is a very important way to build trust; it creates a pathway for trust to develop. When you and your partner communicate about everything, you’ll find it easy to trust each other.
2. COMMITMENT
Be committed to the relationship, and show enough dedication to your partner and to the success of the relationship. You make it easier for your partner to trust you when you are committed to the success of the relationship.
3. BE OPEN
Have nothing to hide from your partner. Be open at all times, and try not to be secretive. When your life is like an open book, you make it easy for people to trust you.
4. KEEP TO YOUR WORDS
Be a man of your words; if you make a promise, try to keep it; say what you mean and do what you say. When you can be held accountable to your words, your partner will trust you more.
5.LIVE AN HONEST LIFESTYLE
Honesty is the best insurance for trust; there’s no better policy than being honest. Don’t tell lies and don’t tell half-truths. Be honest with the things you say, be where you’ll say you be and have nothing to hide.
6.BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS
Be a partner who’s responsible and can be held accountable to his/her words. Own up to your mistakes, apologise when you are wrong, try not to always make excuses and learn from your mistakes.
If you try to have these aforementioned qualities, then you’ll be the kind of partner that can be depended on.
