Relationships – yes they can be tricky

Trust is so important, so mean what you say, and say what you mean.

Don’t allow yourself to be belittled or treated shabbily, and by the same token, show mutual respect.

Often there is a chink in one’s armour allowing one party to “hurt” another, but being respectful means they do not.

It is give and take. If you take too much out of a barrel, it will quickly empty. Be there for one another, and take turns to be the supportive one.

When feeling vulnerable allow your partner to help you without showing mistrust or questioning their motives.

At times we are threatened when faced with a situation we are unfamiliar with. Getting out of our comfort zone to deal with an uncomfortable episode in a relationship inspires mutual trust.
