One Thing to Grow Your Marriage Each DaySample

The big deal with trust

Devotional Content: 

Trust is interesting isn’t it? When we have trust in a relationship, we often take it for granted. Then when we break trust with someone, we realize how hard it is to rebuild it. Here is something interesting that I have observed from talking to people over the years: When trust is broken in in one area of a marriage, it can bleed over into other areas. If you lie about spending money, you will probably lose your spouse’s trust in financial matters. You may also lose their trust in every area of marriage where you also might lie. Sometimes people tell me, “I just told one lie. Why is that such a big deal?” I usually answer, “Because it is!” If you have trust in your marriage today, cherish it and guard it with your life. If trust has been broken, ask your spouse what you need to do to regain their trust—and then begin doing it.
