A GOOD MARRIAGE IS BASED ON TRUST IN EACH OTHER

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverbs 3:3.... Children are generally trusting by nature; if they experience disappointment and hurt, however, they learn to doubt others. Likewise, young lovers often enter marriage having complete faith in one another, but a single act of disloyalty, however small, can shatter that trust, undermining and perhaps ruining the marriage relationship. If your trust in each other remains pristine, if you feel you have no cause to doubt one another, recognize this as a true blessing! Cherish and protect that trust. It may seem rock-solid to you, but it is a fragile thing and so difficult to repair if broken. There are many levels of unfaithfulness, ranging from the secret thoughts of the heart, to the adultery of the eyes, to the emotional infidelity of inappropriate “friendships” both in the real world and on the internet, and all the way to physical acts of betrayal. Fight it at the heart level, and you won’t have to worry about the rest. God will help you there. In fact, it’s only with His help that you can win this battle. 1 Corinthians 4:2 says, “Those who have been given a trust prove faithful.” Your spouse has given you their complete trust. Don’t betray it. In your actions, in your thoughts, In the depths of your heart, be completely worthy.
