i can say that trust is more important in a relationship. 'coz you cant contiue loving the person if you dont have trust with him/her.. always remember that u may not always trust the one you love but you can always love the person you trust for the rest of your life.

i agree as well. but then again trust and love go together, to put love it's automatic that you trusted him, without trust you cannot love that person (love without trust is just crush/infatuation/obsession but never love). Love has its foundation and that is part trust. But in the matter of trust, you can "never" give out your 100%(in the case of pre-maritals), it is always smarter that you could easily bail out of relationship unharmed (emotionally) rather than give out 100% and ruined. Trust with your own risk is not the way, always put a safety precaution ahead, trust goes with a lot of traits (respect, dignity, character) ruin one part of the trust core it's over. Save at least something for yourself, self-preservation is a good thing that you are able to survive what you have been deceived of. But also remember "no one person can know another person entirely, it takes a lot of people to know one" ;)

I am gladly appreciate your opinion. But maybe it depends on how you experience the situation that you can totally say those things. ayt?.. And for me I do respect the guy, I gave him my 100% trust, and I do love him so much. I love him more than my self.

i think trust is more important, a relationship wont work out if you have lots of doubts with your partner. you wont feel secured if you dont trust him.

I would say trust and love goes together. Because love cannot be develop if you do not trust the person. In love it always consist the word trust.

Hello rina08, I am fully agree with you. I can't love someone if I don't trust him. For me, to be trusted is very important. I want to trust my loved one and at the same time, I want him to trust me 100%. I can't live a day worrying about him all the times. Love without a trust is something that won't last forever.

yup! you can only love one person BUT you cant trust is still greater than love coz we all know that we can't trust anybody and we cant continue loving if we dont have trust with that person. right?

I agree with you. Trust is really important, if you don't trust your partner bad thoughts may take a toll on your mind and emotions. I think being trustworthy and honest are so important in a relationship, without them love is very likely to vanish.

i dissagre.i think if u love some one u never doubt that person.offcourse if that person loves u,u dont need to doubt on.but if that person dosnt love u nd then too u love him then its not love that u have.its a mere crush u have.thats a kind of attraction or a need.even if u r ready to do some thing for that person its for ur selfish need nothing else.just take an example..... if ur uncle loves u,he cares abt u u surely love him but if he only speaks soft to u on ur face nd he really dosnt mean so..he never felt affection for u he never cared for u then i bet u will not like him.

hi there! thanks for the response. Anyways, we had a little bit conflict with your idea. Because for me you can still love the person but sometimes you can't control your self to have doubt with him/her.

Yes i agree and very well said. Those are two important things in a relationship to me next to communication. Sometimes i underestimate the power of communication. I am so use to being off and doing my own thing, that i forget that my guy needs me to talk to him as well. So he gets to know me better and trust me as well as loves me better.

Yeah! I know that those are two important things in a relationship. right? But there is only one thing that you consider it most..

i might as well add: many said love is or should be pure, unselfish, unconditional, acceptance and a whole lot more, but these grounds are no longer felt and there's always a condition behind relationships, always a reason to look for, setting standards, rules, barriers and missing out the other side of relationship. If trustworthiness is broken should love go too? then there's no love due its conditional measure leaving out forgiveness which is one of the most important factor why you loved. But of course, if the crime is repeatitive, common sense would come in handy. Well, that leaves a lot of divorce papers on a lawyer's desk which queries the mind if love still exist nowadays. =) love makes your foundation of trust a lot stronger as it should, but if you prefer trust, you don't know how many lives you're ruining since you entered that relationship. If trust is broken but proving again one's worth with devotion, would you doubt him forever and prefer to end it with a broken family, rebellious children and one day these children will follow your example? quite a contradictory to my first reply... lol, something i witnessed changed my mind.

hi there! about your 1st reply, hmmm... I dont really agree on it. But I highly respect your opinion.. Well anyways, in my experience, I found out that my x-bf cheated on me. And because of that I lost my trust in him. And it's hard for me to bring back the trust that I have given to him. And also even if I don't fully trust him after that incident but still I have my 100% love. Though I already had doubt in everything that he do, but still I love him so much.. I love him more than myself.. ;)

Love is more than important to anything. Eventhough sometime or often times neglect the trust you want to have. If someone loves you, he/she entrust her/his heart 100%. As the saying goes... Love conquers all.

Trust is the basis of many things most of all love. Without it there could never be a fertile ground for love to prosper. Doubt, insecurity, suspicion would step in and nip it in the bud. Love would have no chance to survive without trust. Trust me, I know.

yeah! defnitely true!!! I've been into that experience, I love deeply and i trust the guy so much. And later I found out that the guy cheated on me, That's why I lost my trust with him and my love was slowly fade. too painful.. because I was given him my 100% trust.. and it was so hard trust him back.

I think trust is more important in a relationship, because without trust you cann't continue your love for more days. And you face many situation where you need to trust on your partner, without trust you cann't find true love. thanks

I am sure people would like to answer "TRUST" but then I do not think a relationship can exist when either of the two are missing. I think both love and trust are important in a relationship. The ratio in which both of these should exist might vary from person to person, though.

Love. You can trust the cab driver with your life, but you don't love him. Love is reserved for people more important to you.

You say 'trust or love'. Does it mean that trust and love are different? I think trust and love are essential to each other. Love is based on trust. It will look odd to me, if someone says that she loves him but don't trust him.

Trust definitely. You can't really love someone without trusting them.

I can say so that trust is the most important in a relationship it is a thing that should be the partner has. Love will be useless if there is no trust. Because how can you love aperson that you did not trust? It is so nice to love a person that you give your all trust.

I believe that trust is more important in a relationship because. Well you're right. What would be the sense of love without trust.

I say trust is more important in a relationship than love. If love isn't there between two people when they get married, they might eventually come to love one another as time passes. Trust is so important in a relationship because I don't think you can truly allow yourself to love someone if you feel like you can't trust them. I totally agree with the statment, "Without trust, there can be no love."
