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:

Using your hands during a kiss can take a make-out session from good to great. When you lock lips with your partner, try resting your hands on their hips, running your fingers through their hair, or gently caressing their face, arms, or body. Or, hold hands with them while leaning in for a sweet and gentle kiss. If you’re ready to take things to the next level, try putting your arms around their waist and pulling their body closer to yours during the kiss, sliding your hands into their back pockets, or using your hands to guide theirs where you want them to go. Always pay attention to your partner’s reactions to make sure they seem comfortable with what you’re doing. When in doubt, it’s a good idea to ask if they’re okay with something. Say something like, “Do you like it when I touch you this way?” or “Is this okay?” To learn how to use your hands to take your kiss to the next level, read on!
