How to Build Trust in Marriage

I came across this article on a Jewish website on how to built trust in a marriage. Much of what is said is, I would say, universally applicable to all relationships. The author argues that the key to building trust is "building a safe emotional space".
To do so, you must:
  • Constantly work on improving your communication skills.
  • Take responsibility to express your needs and express them clearly and assertively.
  • Be positive and give pleasure.
  • Don't allow issues to go unresolved.
  • Learn to fight fairly.
And now that I've summarized it for you, I encourage you to read the rest of this short article.
