The Four Building Blocks Of Any Relationship

Welcome back, everyone. In this week’s newsletter, I would like to discuss the four building blocks of any relationship. It is so easy to look around and see how relationship after relationship simply fails and falls away. However, if you pay attention, you will find that each relationship is missing one of the four building blocks discussed this week.

So if you are struggling to build relationships or find that most of your relationships are fly-by-night and you want to change this, this week’s newsletter is just for you. So, get comfortable, and let’s dive into this week’s topic as I take this next step toward becoming positively improved. 

Trust –

The first thing to cover here is how trust is defined. According to the dictionary, it is defined as relying on another person because you feel safe with them and have confidence that they will not hurt or violate you.

Trust is, without a doubt, one of the most important aspects of any relationship. Without it, it is only a matter of time before the relationship will fall apart and, in many cases, very severely.

It is well known by many that trust has to be the most substantial part of any foundation that you build when you want a relationship to last. How can you build trust within the relationship? You should start by finding ways to respect and honor the person you are trying to develop a relationship with. 

Respect –

Again we will start by defining respect for those of you who do not truly understand its meaning. Respect is the freedom to be yourself and be loved for who you are.

In many cases, the whole reason that you are trying to build a relationship with this person is that there is something, and hopefully, more than one or two things that you like about this person.  Thus, you would want to encourage them to be all those things you most love about them.

This is how you build respect, simply allowing everyone to be who they are, to learn as they need to learn and grow in the ways that suit them best. Respect is paramount for people to feel comfortable with being who they are, which in its fundamental way, will build trust.

Communication –

The third pillar or building block to a healthy relationship is communication which is the transfer of information from one place to another. In relationships, communication allows you to explain to someone else what you are experiencing and your needs.

Having good communication skills is a defiant plus here. However, for those of you who fall all over your words, never quite saying what needs to be said, the best way to do this is to just share what you can in the best way you can and as often as you.

Some of the most successful and healthiest relationships have a rule to have no secrets. No matter what it is, you always make time to talk about it.  What is important to remember when. You have this rule that nothing has to be said without a filter to safeguard all that needs to be protected. 

Commitment –

And finally, the fourth building block is commitment, and no relationship will last very long without the willingness to commit to a future of having this person as a part of your life. 

Here are some examples of what I am talking about when I say commitment, you will keep treating your partner with respect, even if you are upset or angry. Commitment also means that you promise to support your partner now and in the future. How couples show commitment in a relationship can differ depending on past and present experiences and expectations.

Commitment isn’t just sticking around or putting up with someone because you have nothing better to do. It is working to find a resolution when others would give up and walk away. It is finding a compromise in every situation. It is caring for this person so profoundly that you would not want to imagine your life without them. Along with so much more, it is vital to the building and longevity of any relationship you have or want to have.

Final Thoughts:

Now here we are at the end of another weekly newsletter, and I  need to close with just a few words of wisdom, which goes like this, I believe everyone is looking to be loved, but we are all meant to be loved and cherished by good people. Building all relationships directly reflects what we believe to be true about the quality of relationships we believe we deserve. If you choose poorly, you will have poor relationships, and if you choose wisely, the potential for healthier and more successful relationships becomes probable.

If you have my beliefs, I encourage you to build all your relationships with these four vital building blocks. You will find it makes all the difference in the world as to the health and success of the relationship.
