Broken Trust In Relationship

It may seem as though your world has begun to crumble when there has been broken trust in relationship. So why is trust so important in a relationship and what can you do to regain that trust?



*Know what it means to trust. Healthy relationships rely on important elements such as trust to keep the bond between two people strong and long-lasting. Merriam-Webster defines trust as: "assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something". Without trust in a relationship, the partnership is built on an unstable foundation which may lead to future problems.
    *Acknowledge what led to trust being broken, recognize your feelings and discuss with your partner how his actions/beliefs played a role. Discuss the event(s), as they happen, and how you feel as though your trust has been broken. Allow your partner to respond. Communication is important at this step because whenever trust has been broken in a relationship, problems can be more easily resolved simply by communicating your feelings about the situation and vice versa. Its important, however, to maintain composure and strength given that it may be more difficult opening up to someone who as betrayed your trust.

    *Determine if and how trust can be rebuilt to develop a healthier and more positive relationship. In order to have fulfilling, deeper, and meaningful relationships we must learn to trust our significant others. The expression and feeling of trust should be mutual and not one-sided (which is where difficulties in a relationship can occur). After talking with your partner as discussed in the step above, it is now time to figure out how he will work to regain your trust, if you are ready to let your guard down some and begin trusting him. This process may take time and communication is very important.



    "We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy"  ~ Walter Anderson

    Romantic Valentines Day Gifts: Part 1

    Love is in the air and Valentines Day is right around the corner.  So how do you choose a romantic Valentines Day gift that will make a lasting impression?

    Here are some tips that will help you find the best romantic gift for Valentines Day:

    1. Find a gift that will show appreciation for your significant other. When you are in a relationship, sometimes may be easy to forget just how much you appreciate being with that person. This thought alone goes a long way in creating a romantic mood. Get him/her a gift that will show your token of appreciation. Take a moment to think about what attracted you to your mate and let them know what it is that you appreciate about this person.

    2. Help your significant other to feel more relaxed. Since we know that day-to-day stress can take a toll on our relationships and put a damper into any thought of passion its important to consider giving the gift of relaxation. Just by being more relaxed, one can allow more romance to flow into the relationship. Some ideas may be a spa package with a massage or that romantic vacation you've always dreamed about. Nothing says romance more than being able to leave your worries behind and focus on relaxation with your partner for this special Valentine's Day.

    3. Another romantic idea for Valentine's Day is a gift that is personalized. personalized gifts are like customized cars. They are special, they take more time to create, and they are tailored to the person receiving the gift. Anything that is original and is something that your significant other desires to have, is definitely going to make a memorable gift.

    Quick Tips For A Successful, Long-Lasting Marriage

    For those who have yet to make the next step in their relationship, keep this in mind: before you marry make sure you are marrying the right person for you.

    If you are already in a marital relationship, make sure that you (as well as your husband) are willing to commit to maintaining a positive marriage. Talk about what is important to you and your vision of your family/marriage. Be 100% completely honest. Listen to your husbands responses to the same topic. Notice where you agree and disagree.

    Your happiness both as an individual and as a married partner must come from within yourself. Take care of yourself (inside and out). Research shows that people with higher self-esteems enjoy happier marriages. Remember to enjoy life and be happy. Start by accepting & appreciating yourself as you are and your spouse will naturally do the same. Don't assume that getting married will be the cure to your happiness.

    Agree to have fair fights. Handle disagreements and conflicts appropriately. Name-calling, disrespecting each other, and threatening to divorce should all be forbidden even angry at each other.

    Wait until anger has subsided to try and resolve marriage conflict.

    Honor and respect your partner. Mutual respect between both partners is an important part of a happy successful marriage.

    Find ways to improve/increase intimacy. Plan a romantic date. Hug more frequently. Share a fantasy. Let go of your fears.

    Forgive and forget past hurts. Once you have worked to resolve an issue, place it into the past and move on. Holding onto negative past events only limits your growth as a couple.

    Improve communication. Do you secretly hold grudges? Are you bothered by things but fail to express your feelings to your husband? Are your quick tempered? Do you have difficulty understanding how to relate to your husband? Sometimes all it takes is listening and verbal expression or feedback.

    Know when to seek counsel. Some problems are just too complicated to handle on our own and there are many trained and qualified individuals who can help.

    The Best Way To Break Up

    The Best Way To Break Up With Someone

    Breaking up is never an easy thing to do but it is in fact a part of life and if you must break up with someone, here are some things you can do to ease the pain for the other party (and yourself).

    • Remain calm - there is no point in trash talking the person you are breaking up with nor is there any point in slashing tires, breaking windows, or other engaging in irrational behavior that will only peg you as a "psycho" in the long run (see woman scorned).
    • Tell them in person when possible - its always better to talk about important topics with people you care about in person. If you have a long distance relationship then by phone may be feasible. If you suspect your partner will not handle the break up well and might become violent or act irrationally then breaking up in person is never a good idea.
    • Don't Lead The Other Person On - this is especially true if you have any doubts in your mind about ending the relationship. Stringing people along for the ride (or for your personal benefit) is not only wrong but can also backfire as karma works its way in.
    • Remove all momentos - there is no point reminiscing about someone who will no longer be a part of your future and holding on to past memories will only delay the healing process of the break up
    Most importantly when thinking about the best way to break up with someone, remember to be direct, stand to your decision, and move forward with life.
