10 Signs Your Spouse Is Faithful To You & Always Will Be
11 Signs Your Spouse Is Faithful To You & Always Will Be
Marriage is a wonderful thing. What could be better than chasing your aspirations and planning your future with your closest friend? Well, as wonderful as married life is, it is not without its challenges.
Though infidelity isn't the only issue that married couples face, it is one of the most serious and difficult to overcome. Fortunately, there are several signals that your spouse is faithful to you that you should investigate before presuming something is going on when it isn't.
I've been married to my spouse for over three years (insert cheesy love song here), and while things haven't always gone smoothly, we've never had an issue with infidelity. We make sure to keep open channels of communication for everything, even when uncertainties emerge, as any good marriage should.
According to the book The Truth About Deception, 30 to 60 percent of married couples participate in some kind of adultery. Those figures, however, do not have to be the deciding factor in your marriage. Think about these indicators before jumping to conclusions and assuming your spouse is cheating, since most of the time, a simple talk is all it takes to clear the air.
1. They
Follow Through
Following through on what you say you'll do, no matter how little or major, is critical for creating trust in a relationship, according to relationship expert Margaret Paul. It's a good indicator that you can trust your SO if they constantly declare they'll do something and then follow through.
2.They're Happy to See You
Is your partner ecstatic to see you at the end of the day? Although there will be days when they are bothered by something or have had a difficult day, their most typical reaction to seeing you should be genuine joy.
3.They Don't See Sex Simply As Sex
Both of you will be excited and involved in a good relationship. You probably have nothing to worry about if your lover isn't distant and is completely focused on you.
4.They Tell Their Friends About You
Your SO should be thinking and talking about you even when you aren't around. If you meet their pals and they have no idea who you are, it should raise an alarm. It's a positive sign if they can't stop talking about you.
5.They Don't Keep Secrets
Marriages can be destroyed by secrets, but they can also be saved by honesty. According to a Forbes research, 20% of married couples maintain financial secrets from their spouse because they are afraid it would kill their relationship. According to the Huffington Post, a research done in the United Kingdom found that one in every five persons claims to be harboring a huge secret.
As startling as those figures are, if you know your spouse well enough, you'll be able to tell when they're withholding information from you. They're probably telling the truth if they're open and honest about everything from money to their background.
6.Their Phone Isn't Off Limits
An story on CNN discusses the clear harm that technology poses to many relationships. It's natural for couples to be concerned about what's behind their partner's computer screen, especially with the internet and easy access to prior relationships. However, in a loyal relationship,
you'll be able to tell if your spouse is hiding something or not, according to the report. Is it okay with them if you look through their phone? Are they forthcoming with who they text? It's typically a good practice to have a "open policy" when it comes to your phone.
7.They Have Boundaries With Friends And Co-Workers
Although it's perfectly natural for both of you to have friends outside of your marriage, according to a Today story, keeping boundaries with them is crucial to a happy marriage. Indeed, according to the study, 40% of affairs begin among coworkers, so if your SO is honest about who they spend out with and understands the need of setting boundaries, you have nothing to worry about.

They Feel Appreciated
According to a study conducted at the University of Georgia, thankfulness may be one of the most important factors in a good marriage. "Feeling valued and believing that your spouse appreciates you directly effects how you feel about your marriage, how devoted you are to it, and your belief that it will endure," the study's co-author stated. A simple "thank you" may make a huge difference.

They Choose Good Friends
There's no denying that friendships have an impact on one's conduct. They're worth staying around if your partner picks friends that encourage them to stay faithful, like you, and want to involve you.
10
They Don't Flirt With Others
This one should go without saying, but if they only have eyes for you (and make sure you know it), you can be sure they're loyal to you.
