Top 7 Bible Verses About Trust In Marriage November 15, 2015 Michael Krauszer Show
The Bible is not a marriage handbook, but it certainly gives a lot of information on how to be a good spouse. This is not to say that the Bible gives explicit instructions on how to do this. Rather, it gives general guidelines in a broad sense, while exhorting Christians to be godly people who follow Christ. With that being said, as we examine the Holy Scriptures we will be able to ascertain how to be more trustful in our marriages. Here are the top 7 Bible verses about trust in marriage.
If both spouses are holding marriage in honor, they will want to be open and honest with each other. And, as this verse is suggesting, they will be faithful to one another in all areas. When both spouses are following the Lord completely, it is much easier to have trust in the marriage.
Each person in the marriage must be relying on the Lord if trust is going to abound. If one of them begins relying on their own wisdom, intellect, or strength then trust will start to crumble.
Divorce should not be a threat in a trusting marriage—in fact it should be seen as something deplorable and never to be done. Again, though, that’s in a marriage that is full of trust. Unfortunately, there are some marriages where people are unfaithful, hurtful, or worse.
The trusting marriage is a guarded marriage. Both spouses will guard themselves individually and together as a couple. They will guard themselves from outside forces that try to tear them apart.
This is more of the result from having a trusting marriage. Without trust, neither spouse will be vulnerable with one another, share struggles, or have open communication.
Once again, the key to trust is to continually be looking unto Jesus. If both spouses are doing that privately and also together as a team, they have all the tools they need in their marriage. After all, Jesus is the perfection of all things!

In a similar way, there are things in a marriage the creep in and try to ruin a marriage: secrets, lies, other people—the list goes on. ConclusionAlthough I’ve only been married for a handful of months, I already have come to realize the importance of trust in my relationship with my wife. Once trust breaks down, communication becomes harder, bad moods become a constant, and more difficulties arise. But, the only way that trust can continue is if it’s continually worked on and both spouses are on board. If not, than trust really will not happen. All in all, though, it starts, ends, and sustains itself in the Lord Jesus Christ.
