Trust and Love

Well, all of us say and have heard that trust is the soul of a relationship. And I am not arguing over that, I completely agree… but then I guess not many of us really know what do we mean by ‘trust’ here!

Here’s the background for the thought – Yesterday I got a question from a man who said that he feels guilty because he can’t feel much for his wife. He says that he knows that trust is very important in the relationship and he trusts his wife completely and he knows that she will never cheat on him but still…

So, here I think that first of all just the trust that your spouse will not cheat is not a reason enough to love someone. And secondly trust here doesn’t mean only the feeling that the other person will not cheat, it also means being 100% sure that your partner will be there to hold you whenever you fall, the trust that the person loves you as much as you do, the trust that he/she will stand by you in all your adversities, the trust that he/she will understand without your saying it sometimes, the trust that he/she will see without you showing it at times…. its not just about fidelity!
