Who doesn’t know that trust is the foundation of a healthy relationship. But the truth is, it is easier said than done. A couple has to go through challenges that come in their way, some involve breaking the trust they have for one another. When you love someone, you trust them wholeheartedly until something happened to breach that very trust. In some cases, it may even lead to your partner consulting a divorce lawyer to end the relationship.
Here’s a few ways to help build trust with your partner.
1. No secrets along the way
You need openness in order to trust. Secrets can damage a relationship faster than anything else. Be honest about the issues that the both of you are facing even when your partner dislikes it.

No matter how much we love someone, we will always be two separate individuals. We have different train of thoughts, therefore it’s normal when they see things differently as we do. We have to accept this fact in order to trust your partner. Above all, agree to disagree is the recipe to a peaceful relationship.
