The term ‘Trust’ is a fundamental aspect of any relationship. It validates the health and longevity of any relationship or marriage. Trust simply exemplifies the degree of belief, reliability and security a partner feels about the other in a relationship. It depicts how safe and assured one is that the other will not hurt or betray them under any circumstance or at least deliberately.

A very interesting factor that influences our trust pattern is our past experiences, environment, parental influence and self preservation. Most people who have had terrible heartbreaking experiences in their previous love life would certainly have issues trusting another.

This is because they are lost in a mental battle of wrestling with the horror-filled impressions of the past and reconciling it with a seemingly ‘too good to be true’ present. It inflicts fear borne out of uncertainty and fear of the unknown.

No matter the reason we find it hard to trust, its pertinent to note that we cannot love if we fail to trust. If we must find love again or sustain love, we must be brave enough to trust in spite of the flaws of the other person. It takes bravery, courage and a large heart to trust which is why we should learn to embrace it as a significant aspect of building towards a successful relationship.

POSITIVITY: Trust breeds an atmosphere of optimism and positivism on one’s partner. This is because the more we trust someone, the more we believe in their capacity to do what is right per time. This feeling of optimism makes it easier for you to support and defend them even in the face of difficulties. It breeds an atmosphere of happiness and safety.

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT: While it is utterly impossible to have a relationship that is completely devoid of misunderstandings and disagreement, it is easier to resolve conflicts and offenses with a partner that you trust because you believe in their commitment to ensuring that offenses are not repeated at least deliberately. A partner who trust you will be willing to condone or overlook your flaws and still love you unconditionally by working out solutions to address them. This means giving you a benefit of doubt and choosing to opt for your strengths rather than dwell more on your failures.
