Trust can be a funny thing. Many say they trust their partner — but how many
marriages fail because one person refuses to cede any territory to the other?
Trust is often an especially significant struggle for new parents when
territorial instincts and anxiety come out and one partner inevitably says to
the other, “but don’t you trust me?” when it comes to completing some
kid-related task.
The truth is, trust can be tricky because everyone has their own version of it.
It’s often assumed, or contingent on “well, you love me so you should trust me.”
But trusting another person isn’t as easy as loving someone. Both building trust
and restoring it are complicated but essential parts of building a healthy
marriage and family. Much like respect, trust is something you earn. Demanding
it doesn’t work.
