Married and My Best Friend is Opposite Sex - Is That Cool?

Is checking your partner's phone ever ok?  Should married couples share their location?  Can you have a best friend of the opposite sex when you're married?  When does a friendship cross the line, and what constitutes an emotional affair?  Do you really have to tell your spouse everything?  Is flirting cheating?  So many questions...Brian and Jamie discuss all these questions, and they believe, it all boils down to trust.  Our culture would have us believe we can't trust anyone anymore.  And yes, our trust has been broken.  Many of us have been victims of betrayal, sometimes in previous relationships, and sometimes by our spouse.  Navigating rebuilding trust can be extremely challenging, and many times, these questions come in to play, especially in light of betrayal wounds.  Healing is possible, trust is essential, and many of the questions around appropriate boundaries with co-workers and friends become clearer, the more invested you are in your marriage.We hope you enjoy the roadcast!As always, thanks for listening, and supporting Long Haul Marriage!We would love to hear from you - drop us a comment, or email us, and remember to share this podcast. For more info, follow Brian and Jamie Hackney at www.longhaulmarriage.org.  Make sure to subscribe to receive our monthly newsletter.To schedule a coaching session with Brian and Jamie: https://calendly.com/longhaulmarriage.  To book LHM for a workshop or retreat, email brian@longhaulmarriage.org, or jamie@longhaulmarriage.org.Follow LHM on IG, FB, and TikTok.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/trinity/into-the-red License code: JS35QUTOPG2FFVDR
