Summary

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

0:00.0	Welcome to the awesome marriage podcast, a place for honest conversations and practical advice on how to build an awesome marriage.
0:09.9	I am your podcast producer and co-host, Lindsay Few.
0:13.4	On the show will be our host, Dr. Kim Kimberly.
0:17.0	Dr. Kim is a marriage counselor and has been married for over 50 years. His passion is to help you
0:23.4	strengthen your most intimate relationship. Marriage needs trust on so many levels to be healthy,
0:33.1	and some are a little less obvious than others. So today we are talking about the types of trust
0:39.0	that every marriage needs and how to grow and build them so that we can experience the
0:44.2	thriving and healthy marriage that God has designed for us. Before we get into today's topic,
0:49.5	I want to let you know that we have a helpful conversation guide available for every episode of the podcast.

1:28.6	friends, work. I mean, if there's not trust there, what happens? So I think it's such a foundational
1:34.8	thing to a marriage. And I think without that in a marriage, the marriage just crumbles.
1:41.0	It may not be all at once, but it will start chipping away. And I think I've
1:45.3	seen this in so many people that we don't realize how valuable trust is until it's broken. And then we
1:52.1	know, okay, I've got to repair this. How do I do that? And I think sometimes we just take it for granted
1:58.3	until it is broken. And so if we have trust in a marriage, we do everything we can to keep it there.
