TRUSTING YOUR SPOUSE.

Trust

In any relationship, people have to be able to trust each other. This means being honest with the other person in the relationship. Having trust in a relationship also means proving to each other that you are reliable, responsible, and dependable.

What happens in a relationship without trust? It could involve second guessing and not believing each other. It also might involve betrayal by sharing secrets or obsessively checking on the other person. 

For example: if you are worried your boyfriend or girlfriend is cheating on you, constantly checking his or her phone messages to make sure he or she is not texting or calling someone else means you do not trust him or her. A better solution is to communicate your concerns and develop a greater sense of trust. 

Trust is an important component of any healthy relationship. If your relationship lacks trust, it's hard to get close to the other person and to rely on him or her for support. 

In a trusting relationship, you should be able to shareinformation with your partner without worrying that he or she will share it with others or gossip about it. You should also avoid sharing any confidential information your partner tells you (unless keeping a secret puts him or her in danger). 

In a healthy relationship, you should feel comfortable around the other person and not fear for your safety. If you do fear for your safety or feel belittled or hurt when you're around your partner, there is a good chance that you're in an abusive relationship.

Now, let's relate trust back to The ABCs:

Awareness: This includes instincts. Always trust your instincts

.Balance: You must have a relationship built on mutual trust.

Choices: Trust that you are making the right decisions and follow through with them.

Trust eventually leads to the third building block: respect.

You have to realize that trust is not about finding the perfect, trustworthy person; it's about signing up to work through hurt when it arises.
