You CAN rebuild trust that has been lost from an infidelity. Did you know that trusting your spouse is one of the most important elements of marriage? Did you know that without the sacred bond of trust between a husband and a wife, the marriage will be unhappily discontented all the while it heads down the path to destruction? How can you live with someone day in and day out and not trust them? I think it is time to look at our selves, wouldn't you agree?

There are six aspects that you should know to help build back the trust that has been taken from your marriage. These things can be followed in the marriage that has never experienced the beauty of trust as well.

1. Forgiveness

Forgiving your spouse for something that has put the marriage on high alert is probably the hardest thing to do. That is why we look at our selves. Ask your self, why can't I forgive? Why do I not want to forgive? This is the question that needs to be addressed. The reason many of us don't forgive is we want to stay safe in our feelings that unforgiveness gives us. We don't want to come out of the negative way we feel about our spouse because we are angry and resentful inside.

But once we forgive, we can't hide inside our feelings anymore. Once we forgive we cannot behave the way our negative feelings tell us to. Once we forgive we can't use our spouse's error against them anymore. Once we forgive we will have to come out of the resentment we are now living in. If you want your marriage to be free of these unhealthy emotions you will certainly need to forgive!

2. Stop Erring Against the Marriage

If trust has been broken, someone in the marriage either went astray or did something else to break the bonds of trust. Whatever that err was, that spouse NEEDS to quit and desist in their erring ways. If you are reading this article then I am positive that you would like to stop erring against your spouse. You can't expect your spouse to forgive you if you cannot stop erring in your ways, can you? Also as Christian's we are accountable to God, and that means if we have sinned then we need to repent and come back into the Lord.

3. Communicate Feelings Honestly

When was the last time that you had an intimate conversation with your spouse? Has it been a long time? Don't hold back your feelings; it is okay to show emotion once in awhile. When we use our feelings productively we are communicating in a good way that will get the issue on the right track to being resolved.
