Loss of Trust In A Marriage Can Be Regained.
It is an regrettable fact that countless numbers of marriages today are on the point of collapse. Many of those involved in this unenviable situation are desperate to repair their relationship. Amongst the top three causes for marriage difficulties is lack of trust, either mutual or just on the part of one of the spouses in the relationship lacking trust in the other.

Lack of trust can be the consequence of a number of things from the not so serious, such as not carrying out odd jobs and commitments that you had given an undertaking to do, or indeed more serious issues such as an extramarital affair, significant addictions, violence or dishonesty. Once trust has been broken it is not an easy matter to re-establish it. Trust must be earned, and the only way that this can be done is to demonstrate in practical ways to your spouse that you are really repentant and want to re-establish yourself as a trustworthy and loving partner. It is not enough to say that you are all set to change–the change must be demonstrated by deed. Bear in mind though that this rebuilding could take a significant period of time – you need to be patient.

- The first step to restoring trust is to acknowledge responsibility for whatever it was that was the root cause of the lack of trust in the relationship in the first instance.

- Finally, commit to making the change.
