Connect Series: Building Trust

In our relationship series, Connect, we are looking at the lives of Bible couples and the issues they dealt with. This week, we look at the marriage of Mary and Joseph, a couple who learned to connect by building trust.
When you meet someone, you usually want to know something about them. Here's some information on Mary and Joseph:

How they met? We don't know but we do know that they had a proper relationship (Matthew 1:18).

What was she like? We know from Scripture that Mary was a virgin (Matthew 1:18; 23 and Luke 1:34); she was blessed/favored (Luke 1: 28-30); and that she was Biblically knowledgeable (Luke 1:38; 46-55).

What was he like? A carpenter (Matthew 13:55), Joseph was know to be "a just man" (Matthew 1:19) who was caring (Matthew 1:19), thoughtful (Matthew 1:20) and obedient to God's leading (Matthew 1:24).

What was their issue? Trust. Mary and Joseph had to develop trust in the midst of some unique circumstances.
Mary had to trust God's message from the angel (Luke 1:26-33).
Joseph had to trust that Mary was being truthful with regard to her purity.
Joseph had to trust God's message from the angel (Matthew 1:20,21).
