Summary

Trust and betrayal are among the most important topics couples will face. Can you trust one another to... listen well, be supportive, handle your heart and vulnerability with care, remain faithful, love your children well, and help around the house (to name a few)? In this episode we start our series on trust, exploring what "Cruciform trust" looks like and why some versions of trust in marriage actually aren't biblical... you'll have to listen to get the full explanation! We hope it blesses you. Announcement! Our new marriage learning project ~~Gospel Centered Marriage~~ is open for enrollment! It's a great way to build a solid marriage foundation and/or finally get on the same page. It's built for all couples—newlyweds, nearly weds, and those who have been married for years. Visit GospelCenteredMarriage.com to learn more. New mini-courses are being added to the enrichment library monthly! Thanks for listening!
