Honesty in Relationship

Honesty can be defined as truthfulness, sincerity, frankness or freedom from deceit or fraud. Honesty are probably one of the key in a successful relationship. Trying to maintain these can be an everlasting battle, with both you and your partner needing to work hard to maintain them on both sides. There are some essential guidelines that any person or couple can follow to keep up the levels of trust and honesty required for both people in a relationship to be happy and sure they want to carry on in that relationship. 

Promoting trust is essential in building a strong, healthy relationship between two people. Love may have been the key to starting the bond, but being trustworthy, and completely trusting your partner will be one of the things that make it last. If you want your partner to trust you, you must display honesty and integrity from the start and maintain it throughout the course of the relationship.

So, here are the some ways what we should do being honesty in maintaining a good relationship among your partner, family, even your friends:

1. Avoiding in keeping secret which may affect the relationship

Keeping secret is a good attitude as respecting each other in a circle of buddies. In home, we should to be sincere to our family members in bonding the family's unity. However, keeping family's secret is vital to build up and maintain reputation of family in contradictory. Apart from this, how about if we keep small secret from our partners? Like lying, keeping small secrets gets you in the habit of hiding things from your partner and it is an easy lead in to lies on a larger scale.  Somehow this situation may lead to a breaking down of the trust in that relationship. Eventually, breaking up may happen if keeping the secret.

2.Avoiding suspicious minds

There is such a thing as being too suspicious, which can lead to your partner, friends or family rallying against your position and actually doing the thing you suspect of them.It is a fine line between watching out for signs of lying, and completely mistrusting everything someone does, to the point at which you are virtually hunting for some incriminating evidence. If someone thinks his partner isn’t going to believe him no matter what he says or does, he may start thinking, “I might just as well be having an affair, as she suspects me of it anyway”. That might seem far-fetched, but suspicion can quite easily develop into a weapon that breaks up a relationship.

3.Revealing your past

How honest and open should you be about your past? I would say completely, but only in small stages. Be careful not to compare anyone from the past to your present partner. Instead wean these into conversation and your new partner’s knowledge slowly but surely, and at the appropriate time. No one wants to know that an ex did something better than he does, so that type of honesty, which can only hurt someone, should be avoided.  In a circle of buddies, revealing your past could build up the trust because people will feel that you are sincere to them. 

In my conclusion, being honesty is a personal virtues. Being honesty is the only way to make people trusts on you. How you treat people around you, people around you will treat you like the way you are.
