The Bible never asked us to trust anyone. Abi Jeremiah 17:5 ko si ninu Bibeli re? Or Jeremiah 17:5 is not in your Bible?
How come many marriages, ministries, even missions are based on trust? Little wonder many keep struggling to remain JOYFULLY married or unmarried.
The 5 tenets of trust are great - transparency, relatability, predictability, feasibility and teachability (empowerment). None would happen because you signed or say Yes I Do. Each will happen with mutual respect, honour, esteem, consideration and fear of God.
Sadly, many relationships are built on the heels of control and the borders of containment. It then becomes a case of, for me to love you, you need to fit into the ideology of my preference. Dey play!
At best the person will mask what works for you and continue what works for them in their mind!
For example, one partner say, "You eat too much, I feel a sense of shame when you behave gluttony outside!"
He or she does NOT eat into your own mouth so what is the issue. If this is uncomfortable for you, unethical or a sin, teachability or empowerment in the line of truth means you can help the person do better for him or her, not for your own feelings.
My conclusion is that only by grace can two walk together in agreement (Amos 3:3). Let the Holy Spirit help YOU.
