There are many marriages
today that both partners don’t trust each other and if your marriage
must be successful, there must be elements of trust. This can only be
initiated in courtship before it flows into marriage.
For you to build trust in your courtship, here are 5 ways you can do so:
1. Talk Through: Never believe or hide any negative information
relayed to you about your partner. Instead, call him or her and talk
through with a positive mind even if he or she offends you, do not
report to a third party. Call him or her, talk through, discuss together
and settle in the spirit of love.
2. Lie – Not: To build trust, lie not even if it is ugly, shameful
or disgraceful. No matter what happens, tell the truth, face the shame
now, it will not last long compared to when the truth exposes you. Be
truthful in all things. Always remember that one lie will destroy the
trust you have built over the years.
3. Be Best of Friends: It is impossible for someone to trust his
enemy. You can only trust your friend. If you want to build trust in
your courtship,
then you need to be best of friends. I mean intimate friendship. Beware
of somebody you can’t talk to or approach freely. Ability to build
friendship will enable you to build trust between the both of you.
4. Reveal Your Past: Before you go into marriage, endeavor to reveal your past to one another. Reveal your past now before it makes your relationship a past tense.
5. Hide nothing: What destroys trust the most in relationships is
the unveiling of hidden facts called secrets. If you have nothing to
hide, you will have nothing to fear. Love is open while lusting and
infatuation is full of lies and secrets. Do not lie about your financial
ability; open up let your partner know your financial weight.
Demonstrate Acceptance to trust, you must accept the person of your
intending spouse. Demonstrate acceptance instead of rejection; accept
everything about your partner.
