Trust and respect in married life are very important for a happy and stable relationship. It is not very uncommon to have trust issues among married couples. Sometimes the lack of proper respect and trust creates a huge distance in couples. To build trust, both the partners need to be on the same page. Following these strategies can build trust in your marriage.

Honesty
An average person lies one in ten times when interacting with other people. This may not be a habit, but couples need to be honest with each other every day of their life. This sounds hard and obnoxious, but this is the way to build trust among two people. When your partner would realize that you don’t tell something made up, they will be able to trust you more with your statements and actions. It’s not enough to just tell the truth, let the other person know you are being honest with them.

Be open to your spouse
Just being honest is not enough when the target is to build trust and belief. Let yourself be transparent to your partner. It’s good to have some mystery in the character and keeps things spicy. But be open in those situations when your spouse needs to believe in you. Hiding facts and making things complicated would not help create a bridge of trust. Most of the time, withholding information creates suspense. That is not beneficial to a relationship.

Forgiveness is a virtue
Every aspect of the relationship is not meant to be filled with happiness. Moments can arise when you can get hurt by the action or speech of your loved one. Don’t keep the grudge for long. Let them know how you felt and forgive them. The other party might not understand what you felt at the time. But holding the anger or sorrow will not let both of you trust each other again.
