387: How To Build Trust in Your Relationship

Published: Oct. 5, 2023, 8 a.m.

When we think of trust in a relationship, most of us think of broken trust and big betrayals \u2013 things like infidelity, addiction and secrets.

\xa0

But true trust is about the small actions that we take every day. Trust isn\u2019t something we have by default unless it\u2019s broken; it's something we have to build.

\xa0

With every interaction, we\u2019re either building or whittling away trust \u2013 and sometimes the things that break trust are so subtle, we don\u2019t even know we\u2019re doing them!\xa0

\xa0

Honesty, presence and the ability to own our mistakes are the ways we as imperfect humans create deep bonds with other imperfect humans and the key to getting the love you want \u2013 not the perfect fairy tale, but a beautiful journey of learning and growing together.\xa0
