Cheat Proof Your Relationship

 What can you do to prevent your significant other from cheating?

What can you do to prevent yourself  from cheating?

Here are 4 basic rules to follow in every relationship: 

• 1. Communicate when you don't feel your needs being met.  Don't look for someone else of the opposite sex to comfort you about a relationship issue that you should talk to your significant other about. 

• 2. Remind the other person of your commitment and faithfulness to them. Don't ever threaten your significant other about being with another person or cheating.  It's important that he/she knows that you will always be faithful to him/her even through the challenging times. 

• 3. Take time to connect. It's important that each of you feel appreciated. It's nice to do special things for each other, especially when you have been dating for awhile. Connecting is more then running errands together.  It’s sitting down and talking about how your day went and what’s been on your mind.  It can sometimes be more difficult for the guy to really open up so be patient; don’t give up!  This a great way to really emotionally connect with your significant other.

• 4. Always be honest. You may find your feelings changing after you have been dating for awhile.  You may come to a realization that this person is not the person for you.  However, you may be afraid to tell them how you honestly feel because you will hurt their feelings.  If you are no longer happy or just want to date others, then tell him/her. I can promise you that they would rather you be honest with them then have you cheat on them later because you feel "stuck."

Cheat proof your relationship by following these basic rules.  Don't do to someone else what you would not want done to you.  Building trust in every relationship is the foundation for a strong and healthy one!
