Connecting Through Building Trust

In their book, "How to Build a Lasting Marriage", Elmer and Ruth Towns offer some statements for couples regarding the matter of how trust is displayed (page 176):
Trust is sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings and being confident that they will never be used against you.
Trust is knowing you will be loved and accepted, no matter what happens.
Trust is having no anxiety or jealousy when your mate talks to someone of the opposite sex.
Trust will make you willingly vulnerable at times.
Trust in one another will grow over the years.
Both God and your mate can ask you the ultimate question "Do you really trust me?"

And some ways to build trust (page 178):
Both the husband and wife should always look for directions from God.
Both should always seek what is best for all.
Share private matters only with each other.
Consult the Lord for family decisions.
