Healing Your Family After Broken Trust | Episode 236

The topic of this episode was inspired by a question submitted by one of our listeners:

What does it take to heal a family after trust has been broken? How do you acknowledge the wider influence of pain, and where do you go from there?

As marriage coaches, we often talk about healing your relationship with your spouse. However, after a betrayal, your husband or wife isn’t the only person you need to consider. It’s also important to make amends with family and friends who’ve been affected by your actions.

Trust can be broken by infidelity, separation, or divorce—but also by false promises, financial misuse, uncontrolled anger, and more. Regardless of how it happened, the first step to rebuilding is recognizing how your choices impact not just your marriage, but those around you. After that, healing what has been damaged takes time, effort, and intentionality.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

• Why infidelity is just one of many ways that trust can be broken
• How to recognize which relationships in your life need repairing after a betrayal
• Helpful principles for rebuilding trust
• And much more!

We’ve walked the hard road of healing from broken trust as a family, and we hope this conversation is helpful as you navigate this challenging—but essential—journey.
