Transcript

Someone asks should couples have access to each others phones? I think this whole conversation is funny. Because if I'm planning to marry you, why is your phone more private than your life? Now, before the comments start, I'm not saying you should be checking each other's phones everyday. If you're waking up every morning, you got a bigger problem. What I'm saying is, if I ask to use your phone and you immediately get nervous. Why? What changed? Healthy people don't protect secrets, they protect privacy. There's a difference. Privacy is me respecting your space. Secrecy is you hiding that something will hurt me out. Those are not the same thing. If we're building a marriage, our finances become one. Our home become one. Our bodies become one. But the phone is where you draw the line. Make sense? I don't need access because I'm insecure. I need to know that if I ever pick your phone up, you're not gonna have a panic attack. The goal is not to search each other's phones. The goal is to have nothing in there worth hiding. Because trust is not built by passwords. It's built by character. And a trustworthy person doesn't got to keep proving that they're trustworthy. They just live like it.
