Love, Trust, and the Phone Password Dilemma

On several occasions we've come across situations where couples go their separate ways due to one issue or another, and to be honest it's always disheartening when I see such because I often wonder what could have led to the separation and if the love between them isn't enough to help them bridge the gap of misunderstanding between them. But then, I've come to understand that going through one's partner's phone is one of those things that often leads to these misunderstandings that go on to lead to their separation, and this has raised many questions about if it's right to go through one's partner's phone or not, and below I'd be stating my opinion.

To be honest, if I'm to talk according to my understanding, I personally don't think there's any point in hiding your phone from your partner. I mean, you guys are married and ought to have no secrets between you, except on a few occasions when you work in some sector where you are meant to keep information available to you confidential. Other than that, I believe all partners ought to know their partners' passwords and have access to their phones at any point in time. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying have access to your partner's phone because you want to start looking for what isn't lost, mainly for knowing's sake and days when it might come in handy.

While I don't entirely think it's wrong to go through one's partner's phone for the sake of clarity, still, I don't think it's ideal, but in the event that you have some suspicions, then you can go ahead for confirmation, but beyond that, I don't think it's good because you might discover some harsh reality during your exploration in your partner's phone that can lead to a heart attack and the like for you yourself, or even disappointment that could break the relationship, though sometimes it's good because it helps you to realize some misdeed going on behind your back, but then I think we should all trust our partners enough to not start looking at their phones suspiciously.

I remember several months ago when I was still in a relationship, I went through my partner's phone out of curiosity and for clarity on some things, and at the end of the day, what I saw made me sad, even though I've been told that by my partner before, but I still feel sad seeing it myself. I even lost sleep over it, but despite how bad I felt, I can't get angry or query my partner about it because she already told me, so I think we should all just learn to trust ourselves as partners, because without trust, I wonder why you guys are together in the first place.
