What do you think about the relationship between love and trust? Someone said that you can't really love someone you don't trust-it's just infatuation. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Is the person you most trust the person you most love?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I do think they go hand in hand yes. If you take away trust then you are left with doubts about that persons intentions or potential actions, which will only lead to resentment in the long run. So, no I don't think it is possible to love someone that you don't trust, it will always be a superficial bond.
I think there is also a difference between assumed responsibility and competence, such as with a professional providing a service and trusting someone. Trust is an intimate connection.
There is of course that instance where somebody you love breaks your trust but the love doesn't immediately go away. This kind of love fades in time though and you realise the person you love isn't the same anymore. Broken trust can shatter even the strongest of bonds...

It's important to trust the person you love, but I would stress it's far from the case that your destined to love the person you trust.
Equally you can love someone you don't trust.. it's just unlikely to work out as a successful lasting and fulfilling relationship.

Love is a decision followed by committment. (No More No Less)
You may love anyone...trustworthy or not (think of your children if you doubt this-)
However-Trust is earned and involves faith-a proven track record if you will.
If you trust someone you love them...Trust is more valuable than love.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do - Proverbs 16:3
If you do not have mutual trust in a long term relationship, the relationship is going to be a mess. Trust is not something that just is automatically there, though -- if a couple is still dating and getting to know each other, for example, that trust is going to take time to build.

I feel you cannot have one without the other.
It has taken me almost 5 years to learn what trust is. Growing up and in my previous marriage I never trusted anyone. Only because 1.) I was always screwed over and 2.) They never gave me a reason to trust them... which made me fall into the "never trust anyone" idea...
That didn't work and wasn't going to happen if I wanted to stay with my wife (current). She never gave me a reason to not trust her and was always a very sweet and honest person. You could tell that her love just comes from the heart, she doesn't have a mean bone in her body... but me on the other hand... I can be the worst... With her patience, love and devotion, she has proved that I can trust people... it is when they give me a reason to not trust them, that is when I wont.
with trust comes love... and with love comes trust. You must learn to trust.

In Christ, I am commanded to love everyone - whether I trust them or not. Not easy, by any means. But there it is. I do have people in my life, aand people I can no longer keep in my life, that I don't fully trust as a confidante or to treat me properly. but I still pray for them, and I still want positive and happy things for them. I want to see them changed through Christ.
To be in love with someone, I must be able to trust them. There is no relationship without trust. At least not a healthy one. That person is your (potential) partner in life. You'll share everything with them. You'll be more intimate and vulnerable with that person in every possible way than anyone else. There has to be trust if it is to work.

Interesting question. I would agree they normally go together. I think also it is possible to trust too much. If my wife wanted to go to lunch alone with another man and I objected and she said, "Don't you trust me." I wouldn't trust myself. Affairs nearly always start with lunch or something like it.
