Melissa Gendreau argues that trusting your spouse's love and intentions, even on hard days, lets you stop assuming the worst and handle conflict maturely. That trust creates emotional security and reflects Jesus's steadfast love in your marriage.
Do you trust your spouse loves you? And do you trust that they aren't intentionally trying to hurt you? When both spouses can answer yes, even on hard days, instead of walking on eggshells or assuming the worst, you can relax into the safety of knowing your spouse is for you, not against you. This kind of trust gives you the emotional security to address them from a place of maturity rather than fear or reactivity. It's one of the most powerful ways we reflect the steadfast love of Jesus in our closest relationships.
