Trust in Relationships

While browsing through the net to look for sources for my work, I came across this article and I can't help it, but to share with all here. Take a moment of your time to look through the article and think about it.

Trust in Relationships

Cr: Invade Space

Since it can bring a powerful bond of intimacy and credibility in a relationship, trust is highly critical for a society to exist. Life is always built of relationships with people, and trust is vital to fill friendship, honesty, love and passion in a relationship. Trust is considered the central pillar supporting a relationship, and is compared to the concrete foundation of a house. In other words, trust in relationships is a two-way street, demanding equal proportion of respect from either side to manage it effectively.

Any relationship, whether it is personal, business, organizational, community, family, love, or romantic, cannot survive without trust. But, unfortunately, trust in relationships is now rare. Lack of trust may have a negative impact on one?s life. It can destroy the glory of relationships, thereby paving way for jealousy and devastation. Hence, modeling trust in relationships is important to improve the value of a long term deal. Trust in relationships generally depends on how true we are in expressing our feelings to others, particularly to those who are very close to us.

However, it is quite difficult to gain trust in a relationship. Building trust in relationships need considerable effort, commitment and time. Here are some steps to build trust for the maintenance of a healthy relationship. The foremost step is to be predictable. Consistency should be maintained in all the activities you perform. Another vital step to build a healthy relationship is to make sure your words match the message. Belief in others, awareness of one?s needs, and ability to keep secrets are also important for building trust in relationships.

Honesty is also a key to build trust in any relationship. Factors such as insightfulness, responsiveness and unbiased opinions must be considered for winning trust in relationships. Once the trust is established, it can bring many benefits including huge profits with minimum cost, improvement in the reputation of a firm, and enhancement in the quality of relationships. Associate retention, effective communication, and motivation can also be gained through trust in relationships.

Suddenly, I have a thought. What if the trust is broken? Will there be any chances to mend back? Even if we managed to mend back all the things, wouldn't there still be a gap? Take it for example a broken vase, once its broken, its hard to fix it back to the original shape, even if it does, there would still be a thin gap line in between. And perhaps, if people were to be honest and truthful to the other party, the trust that they both have wouldn't even break. 

Trust, an easy word, yet, not all are able to do it. 

Just a penny of my thoughts. I'm thinking too much now a days. And perhaps, I should really stop thinking too much of the unnecessary things. Haha!
