Lack of Intimacy: Trust Issues

Trust Issues:

For some women, physical intimacy is a big commitment. They may have not yet gained their spouses trust, or they have lost trust in their spouse, therefore, they feel the lack of desire for physical intimacy.

Personal Experience:

Zoe has a hard time trusting her husband. She has had many experiences where she found out that he lied to her. When she knows that he is lying, she completely reverts to lack of physical intimacy. She doesn’t want to be intimate with someone that she can’t trust.

What research has found:

It may be difficult to trust your spouse if they don’t communicate clearly with you. A lot of relationships lack trust because of past events or experiences that have taken place. It is important to talk to your spouse so that you can have the trust within your relationship.

What you can do:

You have to trust your spouse or your marriage may fail before it has a chance to succeed. Communicate with your spouse and learn to set boundaries to keep each other happy. First, figure out why trust is an issue. Second, talk to your spouse and explain the problem while you are calm. Third, listen to what your spouse is saying. If your spouse has a perfectly good explanation for what is bothering you, you will feel the burden being lifted off your shoulders.  Fourth, set boundaries. It's important to set boundaries in your marriage that you can both follow. It's important for your spouse to feel like they are your number one priority and should take the same steps that will make you feel like you're number one too.
