203. Heartshare: Following Through on Commitments in Your Relationships

Relationships Let's Talk About It!

Jan 23 2024 • 47 mins

In this solocast I talk about the importance of following through on commitments. It’s basically keeping your word. If you say you'll do something, do it. Whether it's taking out the trash, meeting your partner for dinner, or attending their work event, follow through reliably. The key is consistently matching your actions with your words. Follow-through breeds trust and reliability in relationships. Essentially, partners who do what they say they'll do don't just gain trust; they earn it. Their actions give evidence that they are worthy of trust. This firm foundation is key for relationships to go the distance.

Only make commitments you know you can reasonably keep. Don't say yes to everything.
