What’s the most important ingredient of a successful relationship?
Trust!
Quint Neon went around the streets of Delhi to see if Indian couples completely trust each other and put them through a test.
What is Trust Fall?
Trust fall is a team building exercise used in some theatre and dance groups in order to ensure that the members have faith in each other. Similarly, we asked couples in relationship and married couples if they will try the same. Mostly women chose to fall and the men ensured they’d catch them.
Will You Swap Phones with Your Partner?
Probably, our phones know us more than our parents, partners and even best friends. Phones have all your music, your not so pretty selfies, and your rants saved in notes which you probably wanted to text someone but chose to keep it yourself instead. So we asked couples if they will trust their partners with their personal mobile phones. Surprisingly, most of them agreed to swap. Shocking?
Can Trust in Relationships Be Rebuilt?
To err is human? Sure, but does it work when something falls out in a relationship? Do you think trust once broken in relationships can be rebuilt? While most couples we spoke said that one should move on from a mistake and everyone must get a second chance, some said that any person who breaks trust will be seen with suspicion.
So watch this episode of Sharma Na Bol Daal, and try these two exercises with your partner to see if you trust each other completely?
