Lack of communication
tends to cause people to lose trust! Before cross-examining your partners trustworthiness; look at yourself first. Nobody is perfect and we should not be so quick to judge our partner, but look at ourself, our actions and see if we look untrustworthy. Once we improve things about ourselves, we may see our partner in a different light! It's important to acknowledge things our partner is doing, which helps build trust. Acknowledgement builds appreciation; and appreciation leads to happy and loving feelings. |
