BENEFITS OF BUILDING TRUST IN A RELATIONSHIP (2)
Hello everyone and welcome to my blog at this hour. This is the continuation and concluding part of my last post on trust. I highlighted that trust is important in every happy and healthy relationship. It is the rock on which a relationship must stand if it wants to be successful. It allows the two partners to be free with each other thereby making sharing of information easy without concealing anything.

I also noted that in a relationship where there is trust if a partner does something that is disappointing instead of calling them out in public or treating them badly, their partner will give them another opportunity to prove themselves right.
In today's post I will conclude the topic by talking about the impact of lack of trust in a relationship and some ways to build trust in a relationship, among others. Well, sit back, relax and enjoy all that I have packaged for your reading pleasure.
Trust is not built in a day, it takes some time to earn the trust of another person. It is expected that you will begin to doubt your partner if they consistently do not keep up with their commitments in the relationship. When your partner is saying something and doing something else you will begin to see them as someone who is not trustworthy. Constant behavior that hurts the feelings of your partner or getting caught in the webs of violating the bond that holds your relationship will affect the level of trust in your relationship.
Lack of trust can pose so many problems to your relationships. For instance, when there is little or no trust in a relationship, the partners tend to distance themselves both physically, emotionally and sexually. The intimacy begin to diminish when one or both partners are not trustworthy. In the same vein, apart from distancing yourself from your partner due to lack of trust, you may hold on to any of their wrongdoings instead of forgiving and giving them another chance to prove themselves right. The result of this on your relationship may be loss of confidence, connections and closeness with your partner.

Lack of trust also leads to insecurity in a relationship. Once trust is lacking in your relationship you will not believe anything your partner says. For instance, if they tell you that they are going to the store to pick up some groceries, you may want to trail them to be sure they are actually heading towards that direction. You may even use phone calls or other means to monitor their movements which could lead to more problems in your relationship. In no time, a person that is constantly questioning whether his or her partner is saying the truth might experience some form of depression.
What happens when you find it difficult to trust the closest person in your life? Loneliness set in because you have distanced yourself due to the insecurity in your relationship and you become anxious and depressed at the same time.
There are some things that you can do to build trust in your relationship. They include:
- The most important step is to be honest with each other and admit that you are wrong when you make a mistake. You must show that you are willing to grow and promote the bond between you after you might have reconciled and repaired all you damaged as a result of the mistakes.
- Open communication is very important in any relationship. It is through open communication and transparency that you will get rid of secrets that can erode trust in your relationship. It is easier to discuss issues relating to your relationship and more when you practice open communication.

Trust is crucial to the success of every healthy and happy relationship. When there is no trust in any relationship there is conflict, insecurity and chaos at all times. You need to work on your relationship if it is lacking trust.
