The process of healing from old wounds in a marriage requires certain elements to be present. Dr.´s Lewis and Gossett in their book, "Disarming the Past" suggest the following steps to help the healing begin.

1st) Process of confiding--we must learn to confide in each other.
2nd) Create an environment of empathy, warmth, and genuinenss-- These are common principles that must exist in all marriages.
3rd) Be sensitive to our spouses feelings-- Sensitivity is critical for gaining trust from our spouse.
4th) React with honesty and affection--When we show our spouse that they can trust us and that we care about them (affection), they learn that they can share who they are with us. This ultimately leads to healing hurts from the past.
