In this Q&A I address a question many husbands struggle with but are often afraid to ask. Am I obligated to let my wife look at my phone? What does real trust look like in a marriage? And when is it normal to want privacy for the right reasons, not because you’re hiding something?
I explain how openness creates safety between husband and wife, why a marriage works best when neither side feels the need to check the other, and the difference between healthy transparency and unnecessary pressure.
If your situation is more complex, or there’s a specific reason you don’t want your wife to look at your phone, you can send it in and I’ll guide you with clarity. With Hashem’s help, every home can have peace, trust, and a deep connection.
