The rise of Professional “Checkers” in relationships, particularly through platforms like ‘Lazo,’ reflects a modern trend where individuals hire third parties to test their partner’s loyalty. A professional “checker” is essentially someone who, for a fee, interacts with a person’s partner to assess their faithfulness, often through social media or messaging apps.
Savannah Harrison, the founder of Lazo, transformed her personal heartbreak into a successful business that offers loyalty tests, driven by a desire to help other women avoid the same heartache. Her company follows a structured method: once a client suspects their partner of cheating, they commission a checker to initiate conversations, sending messages or photos to see if the partner will reciprocate. These tests can last several days, during which the checker keeps the client informed by sending screenshots of their exchanges.
The service has gained popularity, especially among women seeking closure or confirmation that their relationship is unhealthy. While checkers like Savannah emphasise that they intend to empower people who are stuck in toxic relationships.
While some may find it empowering to obtain proof of a cheating partner, others argue that it bypasses the fundamental need for trust and transparency in relationships. This trend appears to have grown as a response to rising insecurities in relationships, with many people seeking definitive proof of their partner’s intentions.
It prompts us to ask: What other steps can we take to overcome insecurities in a relationship?
Firstly, it’s important to note that insecurities often stem from fear—fear of being alone, fear of failure, or fear of rejection. These fears can trap people in dead-end relationships simply because they’re terrified of the unknown or the idea of starting over. These fears often become self-fulfilling, manifesting the very outcomes we dread.
However, faith can be a powerful antidote to fear. Building your life on the foundation of God’s Word provides strength and stability in times of uncertainty. In the book of Matthew, it highlights the importance of a solid foundation—one built on God’s principles, which allows us to stand firm when life brings challenges.
“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” (Matthew 7:24-27)
Some practical steps to overcoming insecurities include:
By focusing on these actions, you can begin to overcome your insecurities and build stronger, healthier relationships founded on faith and wisdom.
