Many private revelations contain such and such a prayer or action on our part for which God promises such and such a grace on His part. Unfortunately, some people belittle these promises.

Betrayal of agreements, depending on the severity, can sever these relationships.
Fidelity brings trust a strengthening of relationship bonds.
