Job 6:29 Stop assuming my guilt, for I have done no wrong( NLT)

IF TRUST IS LACKING

In addition to the previous points raised, singles are advised to marry someone they trust and one that trust them in return. It has to be both ways.

I have seen relationships and marriages that ended because those involved do not trust each other. I've seen bitter marital disputes arising from lack of trust.

Some husbands have decided to do the work of monitoring spirits likewise some wives. Marriages where trust is lacking is another hell on earth. Distrust fuels suspicion.

Why marry someone you don't trust and why get married to someone that doesn't trust you? You'll be setting yourself up for a life of misery if you plunge yourself into a union where the essentials of trust is lacking.

Note, trust must be proven and verified. It is earned and not given. Let me explain further, you don't get into a commitment such as marriage with someone whose life style is not straight and pure.

Character is the litmus test of trustworthiness. Don't get into relationship with a playboy and say "We've been told to trust". That'll be foolishness. You don't give your trust to people with ungodly character.

In Matthew 7:6, Jesus said, “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you".

Don't give your trust to someone who is not trustworthy hoping he/she will change. It often end in premium tears. Test character and prove it before trusting.

Before entering into marriage, your beloved must earn your trust in matters of money, relationship with opposite sex, time and commitment.

It is foolishness to see him/ her frolicking with ungodly friends and still keeping contact with immoral partners in his/her past and still think he/she won't be influenced into wrong doing.

A man that pitched his tent towards Sodom cannot be trusted. A sister who has one leg in Zion and the other in Gomorrha has failed character test and cannot be trusted.

She's still collecting money from her exes most of whom she was sexually active with in the past and you think she can be trusted? What about the brother who still accommodate his ex claiming he's just helping out because she lacks a dwelling place, should such be trusted?

May you never be unfortunate. The signs are always there if you're prayerfully vigilant. Don't jump the gun. Trust must be earned not given.

Singles, don't pray that brother or sister into trustworthiness because of marriage. If he/she has proven to be untrustworthy, run and save yourself of future tears.

Action point

If you don't trust him/her having seen signs of untrustworthiness, please run.
