Love Lohiwal

Authenticity and honesty are among the factors necessary for the growth of healthy relationships. Let’s see how this can be achieved and kept as well!

Know What The Trust Means

Trust is all about believing in your partner’s reliability and honesty. It is the base that keeps the entire structure cohesive.

Communicate Openly

Trust can also be built through open communication. Make it a point to share your thoughts, feelings and worries on a regular basis with each other.

Be Consistent

Consistency in performing tasks is necessary for building trust. If you promise to do something, then do it, so that your partner will always have faith that you will not let them down.

Show Vulnerability

Telling someone about your fears is tantamount to showing one's weakness, but this enhances bonding. Trust can only be fostered within the relationship when each partner finds freedom of expression.

Respect Boundaries

There are certain limits that must not be overtaken by anyone. Appreciation of these limitations might lead to care and trust in the relationship.

Address Issues Promptly

Do not allow any misunderstanding to remain unsolved. Whenever such matters should occur, handle them as soon as possible to reduce the chances of bitterness arising.

Practice Forgiveness

There are always chances of failures. Forgiveness enables sight or perspective towards achieving a goal without dwelling on the dead issues.

Do not tell lies 

One virtue that cuts across a whole range of practice is honesty. Self-discipline is essential as everyone wants to avoid conflict or some unpleasant truth.
