Here are 8 ways to build trust in a relationship:

1. Be open, acknowledge feelings & practice being vulnerable.

If you need reassurance from your partner, ask for it. If you’re feeling insecure, let them know. Invite them into knowing you, how they make you feel and how you want to make them feel. Be open about your hopes, fears and dreams.

2. Assume your partner has good intentions.

If they let you down, it may not be intentional –sometimes people simply make a mistake. Don’t immediately assume that they are out to get you, it’s okay to question their intentions but be open to accepting that it may be a simple mistake.

3. Be honest & communicate about key issues in your relationship.

Spend time every day checking-in, turning towards each other and reflecting on how things are. If there are issues in your relationship, don’t let them build, bring them into the light. Start small, speak from the “I” (I feel, I notice, I wonder) and have open starters.

4. Acknowledge how past hurts may trigger mistrust in the present.

Ask yourself: is my lack of trust due to my partner’s actions, my own insecurities, or both? Be aware of unresolved issues from your past relationships that may be triggering mistrust in the present.

5. Listen to your partner’s side of the story.

Look out of their window. Make space to ask: how did you see this situation? What is your perspective? How did it make you feel? How did you experience this?

6. Trust your intuition.

Have confidence in your own perceptions (as well as weighing them up against past experiences) and pay attention to red flags. If your gut is telling you something, don’t let it sit. Speak it. Ask that question. If you harbour it, it will grow like a thorn in the side of your relationship.

7. Practice repair after an argument.

Take a short break if you feel overwhelmed or flooded and set a time to process what happened. This will give you both time to calm down and collect your thoughts so you can have a more meaningful dialogue with your partner.

8. Know that it is not needy to say what you need.

We get SO angry and frustrated with our partners when they do not meet our needs. But have you stopped to ask yourself: “have I made this need very clear? Have I let them know how they can meet it?” Our partners are not mind readers, more often than not: we have to teach them how to meet our needs.

How to rebuild after trust has been broken:

The natural rhythm of relationships is to go from harmony to disharmony to repair and restoration. But lots of people get stuck in disharmony and push apart so hard that they can’t or won’t engage in repair. The goal is to move forward together, not to move backward. If trust has been broken, there are steps you can take to repair:

Can you save a relationship after falling out of love?

At this point, reviving your relationship with your partner may seem futile. But it's absolutely possible, according to Michelle Herzog, LMFT, a Chicago-based couples therapist and AASECT-certified sex therapist. She believes that, yes, you can fall back in love with your partner—but it won't be easy.

Take a moment to figure out your personal weak spots and the problematic dynamics that contributed to the downfall of your relationship. While it's easy to get caught up in what our partner did—or more likely, didn't—do, we need to shift our focus to the part of the equation that we can control: ourselves and what we contributed to the relationship. Think about what you want from your partner and then ask yourself if you're even delivering it yourself. (Hello, the golden rule of treating others the way you'd like to be treated.) "If you're not, take the risk to give what you may not be receiving," Jernigan says. "Someone has to go first. If your relationship is going to get out of the rut, you have to put pride and fear aside and risk-taking the first leap toward change." Next, ask yourself about how your partner can show up for you and whether or not you're creating such conditions, she says. For example, maybe you want more physical touch from your partner, but you just can't put down your phone in the evenings. Of course, have your partner explore their own answers to these questions too—and remember to not get defensive or point fingers. Ultimately, identifying issues is great and dandy, but positive outcomes only come with put in the effort to change your behaviors. "What is more important than the problematic patterns, themselves, are the intentions of both partners to genuinely grow and take risks to create change," Jernigan says.
