❤️‍🩹 When trust shatters, rebuilding isn’t about rushing to forgiveness—it’s about slow, relentless pursuit. In this episode, we unpack what it actually takes to rebuild trust after betrayal, and why “just moving on” doesn’t work.  What does a betrayed spouse truly need to feel safe again? And how can the one who broke the trust stay present in the pain without getting defensive or giving up? If you're in the thick of repair—or know someone who is—this conversation offers real hope and tangible steps forward. Are you showing up—or just showing off? Can you name the pain, or are you trying to avoid it? Let’s talk. Resources: We have just one more EROS Marriage Weekend left this year!
