Back up—let’s talk about trust. As Women’s Health reports, according to Laura Luchies, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychology at Redeemer University College, “trust helps people think less about the risks of getting close to someone, depend on them, and see them in a positive light.” And when there is trust, the relationship has the potential to be a secure, fulfilling relationship for everyone involved. Beyond that, trust isn’t just an important part of creating a loving, open and comfortable relationship today; it is also a big part of showing that you see a future in that relationship and you want to build a life together, as a team.
