In this post I am going to talk about the importance of trust in a relationship. I truly believe that trust is the starting foundation for any relationship because it's glue that holds everything together. According to Wood (2011), trust involves believing in another's reliability and emotionally relying on another to look for our welfare and our relationship," (p. 199). In order to for an relationship to grow and test the wills of time it must have trust. Many relationships fail because the people in relationships do not trust one another. An aspect of trust is self-disclousre. According to Wood (2011), "is the revelation of of personal information about ourselves that others are unlikely to discover in other ways," (p. 199). Self-discolusre is absolutely vital in a relationship because you coming to your friend or partner in confidence about an issue or a problem. Instilling trust in a friend is the greatest gift in a relationship because it validates the friendship or relationship. Furthermore trust and disclosure also ties to being honest with you partner because it's a mutual relationship. Personally, the relationships that last have instilled in trust in each other and our honest because with those two characteristic the foundation of relationships is built.

I totally and completely agree on how trust can give us a great relationship and an unbreakable bond that can't easily be severed. Nowadays, I've seen people take things from other people and deceiving them, leading to distrust, spite, and anger between the parties. It is quite a sad sight to see when you're trying to make people group together for teamwork or something along those lines. In my life, I have several number of people I trust and tell them my secrets, knowing they will not let me down and keep our trust together no matter what. It makes me feel comfortable that there are people out there that cares and knows your existence.
