What is more important: Trust or Love?

I don't know if you need to Love to trust, but I know you need to trust to Love--afterall Love is unconditional and completely without fear. dr...

Now, I know for sure that trust is more important than love. When i was a child I used to think that love overpowers everything and no amount of other thing can replace and replenish it. However, now I have grown with more and more experiences and feel that any relationship cannot survive without trust – it’s the foundation stone. Loving someone alone doesn’t make a relationship work. Love, trust, respect all go hand in hand. yes, i agree trust and respect build a relationship. i have known instances where love wasn't there to start with but trust and respect have successfully incorporated LOVe and have made the marriage going great. It feels great when you know that you get the equal respect from your partner. this begets more trust and love. isn't it? smiles....

You fall in love with someone, only when you start feeling that other fellow is trustworthy, honest and sincere. Mutual Trust is integral part of any relationship, if the trust is not there, any relationship cannot survive. So the trust between two individual comes first than love. Very Good Post indeed! Have a nice day!

I definately say trust is the very most important thing in any relationship. We love all kinds of people in many different ways. We love our family members, friends, and of course ourselves hopefully. Love is something that comes with trust. We may be able to love a lot of people but sadly we can't trust all of them. Thank You my friend this is a good thread. Take Care!!!

I couldn't love someone I didn't trust no matter what else he had to offer so trust is more important since, without it, there would be no love. I just cannot imagine truly loving someone I couldn't trust. It's really important to me that whoever I love is someone I believe in and trust 100%. That obviously includes my husband but anyone I really love. If I don't trust them, I may care about them or like them but I could never feel true love for them.

for me TRUST is more important. When you can not trust the other person how can you go ahead and love that person. If you want the particular relationship to last long there should be a trust factor in that relationship. In my case, me and my hubby love eachother very very much. The reason behind our love is because we TRUST eachother a lot.

Well, I am going to have to agree with you on this one. Trust should always come first before love. That is how I would do it too.

According to me, friendship comes first. Trust comes second and love comes last. You become friends in a while and develop trust. Sometimes this friendship leads us to love and we fall in love. This love still grows when we become more trustworty. This love is all based on trust. If the person whom you love is not trustworthy then we end up with hate and sorrow. So according to me trust is more important than love in a relation. Have a nice day.

Well as they say it should always come hand in hand and one cannot exist without the other.

I also beleive in trust.I think where there is no trust love cannot stand.Love is the feeling but trust which will be with you and stay with you.

Dear sr0415 Obviously you are right -- Trust is more important. If you don't trust you can't love and if you started loving someone -- you will automatically trust him .. Distrust means Fear. Trust also means freedom and fearless. Though both are essential things for a long - lasting relationship. It's a really nice discussion started by you :)

I think in a way, those two things go hand and hand. If you love someone, you should already have some form of trust for them. But I would say you have to trust somebody first in order to love them.

Same as you that both love and trust is important in the long-lasting relationship, but i think love is more important than another one.If you love one, I assure will trust him,and if you do't love him, it's diffucult for you to trust.However,the love which i say is not the love between the BF and GF, this just the small side of the love.

You have to have trust. If you don't have trust then you have a tainted love. You absolutely have to have both for it to be a good kind of love that stands a chance of lasting. Without trust you are both going to be miserable even if you do manage to keep it together.

maybe we should attend improtance to love sometimes.you know many people devoted their lives to trust. I still want to say :love L O V E is the better to some degree

Definately TRUST! You can trust someone that you do not love, but you cannot love someone you do not trust!

Any relation is very rightly called a "CHEMISTRY". As to make a chemical we need all ingredients in perfect ratio. The same thing is with relations. To make a successful relation we need to have all the things. And needless to say TRUST & LOVE are the two most important ingredients of a successful relationship. So I think both are equally important in a relationship.

i agree with you,the first is trust,then the love.

i think they are both important. i will begin to love a person after i realize that he is worthy of my trust. love is such a strong word and it encompasses a lot of things. trust, compassion, loyalty, devotion, romance. romance, i can live without; trust, i can't.
