Effective communication is the key to making any relationship thrive. The more open and honest you are to your girlfriend, the better you will be able to gain her trust. Talk to her about your needs and views, and create an atmosphere that is entirely free of secrets and suspicions.

You and your spouse must work together over time to rebuild the trust you lost, and both of you have a lot of work to do to get there. But with determination and an absolute commitment to restoration, your marriage can be healthy again.
Reconnecting with God and healing yourself spiritually will also go a long way toward helping you and your spouse grow closer again. Spending time in prayer, reading the Bible, and seeking Christian counsel (either from others in your church or a trusted professional counselor) will help you to resist temptation and strengthen you for the days ahead.
I have betrayed my boyfriend of eight years multiple times. I have never had a real relationship with another person. I have thought about it and actively tried and stopped myself. He found out about all of this and that I was talking badly about him to friends of mine. We have been trying to work this out for a month now. I know it will take a great deal of time and that I have done many things wrong and that I have lied to him for a long time. I am not only working on myself but have also really thought about committing to him and regaining his trust. I have started reading articles and figuring out what I can do to reasure him and what I need to do to fix my betrayal. After reading that you and your husband were able to move past and now help other couples I was wondering if you could share some advice
My husband is pastor. Ive discovered provocative material on you tube . Second marriage and first was cheating. Thought so much this one would be perfect.You I know understand my trust issues and heartbreak im going through. My heart aches and why did he do this????
But it gets easier every day, and we have become so much more intimate and accepting and growing together. It is so hard because he was wronged, but I needed the help. Yes, we had to rebuild trust. In some ways I wish this never happened because what we have is so amazing and I feel like I tainted our relationship, and yet had it not happened, we would still be living lives where we were pretending to have intimacy in our lives and feeling lonely instead.
Though my wife and I never ever had any financial trust issues, neither spend money frivolously, she nevertheless wanted to have her own bank account and I would operate our joint account. This was temporary but was important for her because I had caused her pain and insecurity. This was just a tangible manner by which she took control and gained some independence. Though it hurt me, I checked my ego at the door and we went with it. The betrayer needs to do whatever it takes, no matter how odd the request, to foster her trust. Do so every single day.
Its very difficult to restore the trust in someone and I am in the same situation right now. While looking for the help I came across your article and will definitely try these steps. Thanks for sharing these and I hope it helps.
Trust is only as good as the object of that trust. Remember in the definition it is belief or reliance on the strength, character, and ability in someone. In this case, you are putting all of that in God. He can be trusted. You must remind yourself that he can be trusted. That is why it is so important to remember the things that God has done for you in the past. When the Israelites crossed the Jordan River to go into the promised land God gave them an interesting command.
Did you catch that? God told them to take up the stones to remind the people forever of what he had done and that he can be trusted. I am positive if you look back over your life you are going to find some stones that can mark where you trusted God and he delivered. I know I have some. When life gets hard, go back to the stones. Remember how you trusted God then and he was faithful because he is the same God and he will be faithful again.
One last thing to remember and understand, which helps you know how to trust in the Lord with all your heart, is knowing God will bring you through whatever situation you are in. The waters of the situation will not overtake you. The fire of the trial will not burn you up. You will come out of this. The reason I can say this with confidence is that this is what God says toward you. Please read these next words carefully knowing who is saying them.
Pour out a spirit of belief over me, so I can choose to trust you. There is no God like you, awesome in power, working wonders. I praise you for the faithfulness you have shown me so many times in the past.
Lord Jesus, even though I feel worried, I will choose to trust you. Help me remind myself today of your great love and power. Help me identify fearful, anxious thoughts and lay them at the foot of your cross. Give me the grace and power I need to meditate on truths from your Word instead. Help me also speak positive words that will inspire others to trust you as well.
Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish. Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,
75. We cannot ignore the fact that in cities human trafficking, the narcotics trade, the abuse and exploitation of minors, the abandonment of the elderly and infirm, and various forms of corruption and criminal activity take place. At the same time, what could be significant places of encounter and solidarity often become places of isolation and mutual distrust. Houses and neighbourhoods are more often built to isolate and protect than to connect and integrate. The proclamation of the Gospel will be a basis for restoring the dignity of human life in these contexts, for Jesus desires to pour out an abundance of life upon our cities (cf. Jn 10:10). The unified and complete sense of human life that the Gospel proposes is the best remedy for the ills of our cities, even though we have to realize that a uniform and rigid program of evangelization is not suited to this complex reality. But to live our human life to the fullest and to meet every challenge as a leaven of Gospel witness in every culture and in every city will make us better Christians and bear fruit in our cities.
94. This worldliness can be fuelled in two deeply interrelated ways. One is the attraction of gnosticism, a purely subjective faith whose only interest is a certain experience or a set of ideas and bits of information which are meant to console and enlighten, but which ultimately keep one imprisoned in his or her own thoughts and feelings. The other is the self-absorbed promethean neopelagianism of those who ultimately trust only in their own powers and feel superior to others because they observe certain rules or remain intransigently faithful to a particular Catholic style from the past. A supposed soundness of doctrine or discipline leads instead to a narcissistic and authoritarian elitism, whereby instead of evangelizing, one analyzes and classifies others, and instead of opening the door to grace, one exhausts his or her energies in inspecting and verifying. In neither case is one really concerned about Jesus Christ or others. These are manifestations of an anthropocentric immanentism. It is impossible to think that a genuine evangelizing thrust could emerge from these adulterated forms of Christianity.
204. We can no longer trust in the unseen forces and the invisible hand of the market. Growth in justice requires more than economic growth, while presupposing such growth: it requires decisions, programmes, mechanisms and processes specifically geared to a better distribution of income, the creation of sources of employment and an integral promotion of the poor which goes beyond a simple welfare mentality. I am far from proposing an irresponsible populism, but the economy can no longer turn to remedies that are a new poison, such as attempting to increase profits by reducing the work force and thereby adding to the ranks of the excluded.
