NOTEWORTHY QUOTES
"When you see their heart and that they are really trying to do their best really love Jesus and pursuing him. Then I think it is a lot easier and there is a security to say OK I will trust." -Dr. Kim
"You can tell somebody, 'trust me trust me trust me', but if they have not worked through the issues that are causing them not to trust you, and you know in your heart that you are being trustworthy-then I think you are going to need a third party in there. So Christian Counseling is the next big step in there." -Dr. Kim
"We don't value trust until it's broken" -Dr. Kim
"You just can't keep having a marriage when there is not trust. Because you are going to live separate lives and not going to be connected where you should be connected. There will always be a missing piece there if you are not trusting in a certain area." -Dr. Kim

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the awesome marriage podcast, a place for honest conversations about marriage and practical advice on how to have a God-honoring awesome marriage. |
| 0:09.6 | I am your podcast producer and co-host Christina Dodson. |
| 0:12.8 | On the show will be your host, Dr. Kim Kimberling. |
| 0:15.5 | Dr. Kim is a marriage counselor and has been married for over 40 years. |
| 0:19.7 | His passion is to help you strengthen your most |
| 0:22.3 | intimate relationship. This month, the awesome marriage, we're talking about emotional |
| 0:27.6 | infidelity and trust issues in general. Today we're going to be talking specifically about |
| 0:31.9 | when your spouse doesn't trust you, even when maybe you're being truly honest. It's really hard and can be disappointing when |
| 0:38.7 | your spouse doesn't trust you when you know that you're trustworthy or that you're trying |
| 0:42.5 | really hard to be honest. So there are a lot of reasons that people have trust issues, but |
| 0:47.1 | there are also some real solutions that can help if this is your story and your marriage. |
| 0:51.4 | So to kick things off, Dr. Kim, I thought it would be a good idea to |
| 0:54.1 | just talk about some of those reasons. What are some reasons that someone might be someone who |
| 0:59.7 | really just doesn't trust easily? Yeah, and I think that's sometimes really hard for the other |
| 1:05.1 | person in the relationship when they think, how, I'm really being trustworthy. I haven't lied to you. |
| 1:08.7 | I haven't betrayed you. I haven't done any of those things. And there's still a trust issue. And what I find most of the time, obviously it predates |
| 1:14.9 | that relationship. So it could have been a previous relationship where trust was broken. It could have been |
| 1:20.1 | family of origin. You know, it could have been a growing up in maybe an alcoholic family or something where |
| 1:25.4 | trust became an issue with the people that were supposed to |
| 1:28.5 | take care of you, the mom and dad or with one of them. And so that's been broken. And I think sometimes |
| 1:33.1 | just our temperament. I think some people just have more fears than other people and may just be |
| 1:38.0 | where they are in their walk with Christ and they haven't learned some things that God's trying |
