Trust Is A Gift: Immutable Law of Marriage
 150 150 Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D.
By:

Trust is a gift: Immutable Law of MarriageA relationship is built on trust.  A marriage can only thrive when it is built on trust.  But trust is not just earned.  It is given.  Trust is really a gift.

A gift to be treasured, for sure.

Some people refuse to trust — refuse to give that gift.  Others trust too easily, making it a very cheap gift.

Some treasure the gift.  Others squander it.

When trust is lost, you can’t just “earn it back.”  You have to be trustworthy.  But at some point, the other person has to make a choice to give you the gift again.

Do you treasure your gift of trust?  Both giving and receiving?

Are You “Dissing” Your Marriage (right into a disaster)?
 150 150 Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D.
By:

Are you Dissing your marriage?Let me just be clear that I have never been cool or hip enough to tell someone they are “dissing” me — at least not with a straight face!

But many people are doing that — dissing their marriage, with 5 different levels of “dis.”  Ending in a Disaster!

Think of these as layers — levels, headed toward deeper and deeper trouble.

And it all starts innocently enough, with disappointment.  It may be disappointment over what marriage is about, or disappointment with the spouse.  That opens the door to a deepening level of pain and difficulties, unless it is addressed at the earliest stages.

Here are the 5 Dis’s that lead to Disaster:

  • Disappointment
    ⬇️
  • Disconnection
    ⬇️
  • Distrust
    ⬇️
  • Disgust
    ⬇️
  • Disdain

So, let me ask again — Are you and/or your spouse guilty of Dissing your marriage?

Learn what happens at each stage, and how to pull back from the looming DISaster.  Listen below (and share, if it is helpful).
