Trust in Relationships
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone. At least, I hope it’s happy for you. If not, then I’ll say Happy Middle-of-February.
Trust is so important in relationships. When it’s there, relationships have a better chance of being enjoyable and lasting. When trust is not there, or has been betrayed or damaged, the enjoyment and likelihood of a long-term relationship are decreased.
With that in mind, I have developed a series of questions to help you assess and start to repair trust if it has been broken in a relationship you have.
- How was trust first established in the relationship?
- How was trust broken or decreased?
- How did/do past relationships of yours decrease or limit trust in your current relationship?
- Are both of you willing to re-establish trust in this relationship?
- What are specific ways or situations that could help to rebuild trust (name 5)?
I hope to provide a separate sheet within the next week that can be downloaded if you wish.
Take care!
