Daily Love Tip #65

Allow Your Spouse The Benefit Of The Doubt

Jumping to conclusions can land a couple smack-dab in the middle of a sticky relational mess. Accusations and questions of loyalty can drive a deep wedge between mates, virtually halting communication.

Mistrust without cause often reveals your own insecurities and jealousies. But what are you to do when such feelings stab at your confidence in your mate? When you catch the first whispers of suspicion, discuss them with your mate immediately. Ask his or her advice on ways to deal with your uncomfortable feelings. Reinforce your trust while confessing your own insecurities. Focus on "me" and "I". Refrain from pointing the finger and leveling blame with an accusatory "you."

Being able to trust one another is foundational to a happy marriage.
