A spouse’s trust is sacred and should never be taken for granted. It takes time to develop genuine trust between a husband and wife because we all bring baggage from our childhoods or former relationships that can interfere with our ability to trust each other.
This January, my husband and I will celebrate 17 years of marriage. Over half of those were spent learning how to trust. Some lessons were harder and more painful than others, but through it all, we have entered an amazing season in our marriage where the trust flows smoothly. A part of our marriage maintenance work is to reflect regularly on the trust factor and to continue to grow. For my part, I’ve considered five ways I know my husband trusts me. Of course, there are more, but these are the five I share today in hopes that you might be encouraged. All marriages are different, so it’s not important that you trust like we trust. What’s most important is that you TRUST…period.

Good article. Not sure how giving a woman permission to answer your phone/check text messages or giving her your passwords to anything means that he trust her. If he does that, it is probably because he is tired of her snooping behind his back and checking those things anyway or tired of her asking for them. The other three things are a good signs that he trust her.
