5 WAYS YOU CAN BUILD TRUST IN YOUR MARRIAGE

Every solid marriage is built on trust and without it, the foundations of your marriage would be affected adversely. So how then can we build trust in our marriage?

Below are 5 ways we can build trust in our marriage
1. SINCERITY:
We can’t build trust in our marriage if we are not ready to be sincere. Being sincere and open in your marriage ensures you don’t grow cynical.


2. BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF:
You can’t be honest to others if you are not first honest to yourself. You shouldn’t just take decisions because everyone around you is doing them, you should ask yourself if those decisions are the right ones to make if you were in your partner’s shoes.

3. ACCEPT YOUR PARTNER FOR HE/SHE IS:
Just because you are married to your partner doesn’t mean your partner stops existing. Don’t make your partner to pretend to be who they are not or try to fit your partner into your expectations. Accepting your partner for who they really are is very important in every marriage. Just because your partner doesn’t see things the way you see them doesn’t mean they don’t love you.

4. ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS:
 It shouldn’t just be all talk from you if you expect your marriage to work and you are serious about building trust in your marriage, you should also learn to do the talk. Saying “I love you” to your partner everyday is good but it’s not enough; you should learn to match your words with actions.

5. LEARN TO LISTEN:
If you are not ready to listen, you have no business getting married. Ever wondered why you have one mouth and two ears? It’s because listening is more important than talking and it’s so true in a marriage. Rather than argue over every little detail with your partner, learn to look for the truth in what your partner has to say.
