11 Signs Your Spouse Is Faithful To You & Always Will Be

Relationship expert Margaret Paul told Huffington Post that following through with what you say you will do, no matter how small or large, is huge for building trust in a relationship. If your SO consistently says they will do something, and then actually does it, it's a good sign that you can trust what they say.

Does your spouse act excited to see you at the end of a long day? Although there will be days when something is bothering them or they had a bad day, but their most common response to seeing you should be genuine happiness.

In a healthy relationship, both of you will be excited and engaged. If you partner isn't distant and is fully focused on you, you likely have nothing to worry about.

Even when you're not around, your SO should be thinking and talking about you. If you meet their friends and they know nothing about you, that should trigger a red flag. If they can't stop talking about you, it's a good thing.

Secrets can destroy a marriage, and honesty and keep one afloat. According to a study on Forbes, 20 percent of married couples keep financial secrets from their spouse that they worry could end their marriage. Similarly, a study conducted in the UK concluded that one in five people say they're keeping a major secret, according to Huffington Post. As shocking as those stats are, if you know your partner well enough, you probably know when they're keeping something from you. If they're open and honest about everything from money to their past, they are likely telling the truth.

An article on CNN brings up the obvious threat to many relationships: technology. With the internet and easy access to past relationships, it's normal for couples to worry about what's behind their partner's screen. But in a faithful relationship, according to the article, you'll know whether your partner is hiding something or not. Are they comfortable with you going through their phone? Are they open about who they text? Having an "open policy" when it comes to your phones is usually a good habit.

Although it's totally normal for you both to have friends outside your marriage, an article on Today suggested that maintaining boundaries with them is paramount to a faithful marriage. In fact, the article states that 40 percent of affairs start among co-workers, so if your SO is open about who they hang out with and recognize the need to set boundaries, you have nothing to worry about.

A study at the University of Georgia found that a major key to a happy marriage may be as simple as gratitude. In fact, the study co-author said that "feeling appreciated and believing that your spouse values you directly influences how you feel about your marriage, how committed you are to it, and your belief that it will last." A simple "thank you" can go a very long way.

There's no doubt that friendships influence behavior. If your partner chooses friends who encourage them to stay faithful, like you, and want to include you, they're worth keeping around.

This one probably goes without saying, but if they only have eyes for you (and make sure you know it), they're definitely faithful to you.

Ultimately, your intuition is usually a strong indicator of whether your partner is faithful or not, according to Psychology Today. If you think something is up, ask them about it. If you have no reason to doubt them, then don't.
