129. What does it take to build and maintain trust in your relationship?

In June of 1967, just after the release of their album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Beatles began preparing for one of the world's first live global broadcast using a newly constructed technology — the satellite.  What song did they release that day? 

"All You Need Is Love"  It was a historic event.

It's been 55 years since that song was released, but for millennia people have focused on LOVE when it comes to relationships.  The message is reinforced in movies, music, stage productions, TV series, and social media — all you need is love.

Well, sadly, the Beatles actually got it wrong.  Love is a wonderful thing and absolutely necessary in our relationships.  However, we need more than love to have a healthy, thriving marriage.

We also need TRUST.

Trust is what dictates how safe we feel within our relationship.  As it turns out, there are 3 elements that create a sense of trust in our relationships.  And the great news is that all 3 elements are things you can grow.

Join us in this episode to consider the 3 critical elements that build trust and explore practical ways to deepen your connection by maintaining safety and trust in your relationship.
