Doug reads a letter by Alice Von Hildebrand from her book: By Love Refined. In this letter, Alice shares the importance of emotional safety and protecting your spouse in marriage. Doug unpacks 4 behaviors that erode trust and 3 behaviors that nurture trust in marriage.

Listener questions and comments:

·         How can I balance being positive about a situation when my husband doesn't want to see the flip side?

·         What’s the difference between detraction and getting family support or help?

·         In divorce court, they force you to reveal things that you might not want to or are trying to be charitable about so that they can better represent you and get a better deal.

·         Is it bad to share my husband’s mental health struggles with my son’s teacher?

·         My husband had an affair. He said they were just talking but I saw the texts. He told me he saw a priest but kept texting her anyway. He is pretending that nothing happened. What should I do?
