I think that the tip to let someone in is the best tip of all. I grew up in an abusive household so when I met my future wife it was so hard for me to tear down those walls and let her in. But through years of hard work I have been able to get there, let her in, and allow myself to have a life again free from hurt and abuse.

When I read Katherine’s idea about posting the list on the refrigerator, I immediately thought, “But the children will see it!” Then, my next thought was, “That could be really great!” Kids need to see that their parents are working through issues such as trust. And, if these important ideas are ingrained at an early age, it can save the children a lot of their own grief as they head into adult hood and adult relationships.

I think I am going to shrink this and then print it off and laminate it for my couples who are having trust issues. I think having something like this to refer to on a regular basis is a great visual reminder. Putting it on the refrigerator, bathroom mirror, etc. might be another way to keep these important reminders in front of those who need it most.

Another great tip is to make sure you are where you say you are going to be. If you need to make a quick stop somewhere, don’t withhold this information from your partner. I have found that this makes a big difference as well.
