Nobody is perfect and trust can be earned (back).

Show her you learned both what trust means and how valuable forgiving is. And not just when it's something you need to be forgiven for.

Like others have mentioned: making it a habit to talk about everything is key. 'Talk' meaning to openly discuss or dialog about any issue, aka say what you think needs to be said and listen to what your spouse thinks needs to be said too, not blaming the other or venting (venting is good too, at other times). You both need to do that in order to solve any issue before it can grow into anything more serious.

Not at all coming form someone that cheated on his spouse, that is in a 25+years and counting relationship that is still growing stronger.
