Mushy Conversations : Trust

"To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved." --George MacDonald.

Love and trust,
Go hand in hand.
When together,
This dance is quite grand.

Whether a friendship, family relationship, business or personal partnership, any bond is built on trust. Without trust, you have nothing.

The kind of bond you need to create with your partner in order to enjoy a healthy, loving relationship begins with trust. If you're dating or married to a man or woman whom you're suspicious of, then not only are you suffering, your relationship is a sham. Trust is built slowly over time, but it can be shattered in an instant.

Honor your loved one by acting with integrity at all times for it is the glue that holds all relationships together. When people honor each other, there is a trust established that leads to synergy, interdependence, and deep respect.

The best proof of love is trust which is built and maintained by many small actions over time.

Ask yourself - Can someone trust you blindly and do you have one such person that you trust blindly? Is this bond stronger than people you don't really believe in the first time? Definitely, yes! Trust strengthens everything!

Love means jumping off a cliff and trusting that a certain person would be there to catch you at the bottom.

I’ve witnessed situations where couples would claim they love each other, but they wouldn’t trust one another. Without trust, I don’t think their love will ever reach its full potential.

How can you love someone fully and unconditionally, if you don’t trust that person? Building relationships strictly on infatuations is like building a house on sand.

Relationships seem so much peaceful and enjoyable when not only love but also trust is found at the core. I’m also not just talking about trust with regards to being faithful. But also trust regarding the decisions and choices we make, trust in our abilities and talents, and trust us as human beings that we will always have the best mutual intentions in mind. Many a times, we do something, and the other person takes it negatively, whereas we save them from drama or problems ahead. Before assuming things, TALK IT OUT. Never crush the trust between the two of you because of a slight weak moment.

I hope today’s post reminds us all of the importance of both love and trust in any successful relationship.

Until the next time, keep smiling, love more! 

Love, Aayesha.
