Trust

I have recently experienced what happens when trust is broken in a relationship. A couple months back I did something that hurt someone I loved. Although I was not thinking about them when I did it it still effected them. We worked on our relationship and were getting better but still the trust was not fully there. So today I advice you to never hide something from someone no matter how small or insignificant it is to you, it may just be the biggest thing to someone else. Be honest in everything you do and work through the hard times. Nothing is perfect but with some effort you can make progress. This experience with my friend made me think of what it would be like to have trust broken in a marriage. Now I personally think that divorce should be the very last option no matter what had happen unless there is physical abuse involved. You should always work through something instead of just giving up. When you are married you can not just "go on a break" when you get frustrated or angry with your spouse, you need to talk and understand their side and do everything you can to work it out. I have seen a lot of good marriages ended over dumb fights because someone in the relationship was not wiling to take the time and look past their side. Look past your pride and humble your self when you are in a fight or even in the wrong on something. Not everyone will understand your reason for doing something but you should at least understand their reason for being upset so that you can work through the misunderstanding. Especially with marriage, divorce should never be the back up plan to a fight or to misunderstanding, it should be a last resort. No matter how wrong the other person may be look past your self for one moment and ask yourself,  is this worth giving up everything we have worked for and built? I would like to hear feed back on this and see what you all think(: Thanks for reading!

  1. Thanks for sharing! That sounds like a tough situation. I'm sure your willingness to remain humble positively influenced the situation. I enjoyed your comment about the importance of communication in our relationships. Honest communication is a vital component of any relationship and without it the relationship will most likely falter and eventually fail. How can you be a force for good in a relationship where the other individual refuses to communicate?
