After watching this video, have a go at the Talking Points below. We will chat more about this together at your next session, along with your couples’ survey.
TALKING POINTS
Choosing love will lead to a life-long marriage, but it’ll feel like bondage without a daily commitment to earning trust.
- Trust is relying on the _______ or ability of another person. Your ability to truly trust someone is based on _______ character, not yours. Deuteronomy 7:9
- Trust is _______, not freely given. That’s why every spouse needs to work hard to earn trust from their spouse everyday.
- Trust is reactive and measurable. Building trust happens _______ over time, like building up a savings account.
- Trust is reactive, but forgiveness is _______. Extending forgiveness opens the door to restoring broken trust. Colossians 3:12-13.
Looking forward to reading your reflection.
Until then, See you at your next session :)
