Many couples don’t really consider how important trust is until they’ve lost it, Smith said. But there are small things we do each day “that either build trust or take it away,” he explained. Reflect on your actions within the relationship and try to do more things that foster trust — and fewer things that might do the opposite.   “Think about what you could be doing, usually unintentionally, that could make your partner think ‘What’s he hiding?’ such as keeping your phone password a secret; taking your phone with you everywhere you go, even into the bathroom; not saying where…
