Types of Trust Every Marriage Needs | Ep. 614

Trust in marriage is not one-size-fits all. There are many areas where your marriage needs trust in order to thrive, and some might matter to your spouse more than they do to you, and vice versa. So today we're talking about how to navigate any trust gaps you may have with your spouse, how to start the conversation about it, and rebuild what's been broken so you both feel more connected and secure in your marriage.

We pray this episode is helpful for you and your marriage.

Episode highlights include:

• Several types of trust marriages need, and why they matter

• The side effects of missing trust

• Simple steps to catch a trust slip-up so that trust is not broken

• Specific trust-killers you need to avoid

• How to build trust - and keep it
