In relationships there are various components people focus on to make it long lasting and healthy. Often relationships fall apart due to the lack of these important components. To maintain a strong relationship a definite foundation must be established. Without this foundation the relationship faces an unequal balance of emotions and/or feelings between the couple. Ultimately, two major components to keep a relationship alive are trust and communication and without these two, a relationship will not last for long.
In many relationships trust is a very big word. As in this 5 letter word means so many different things to so many different people. "Trust is about knowing that if you fall, will they catch you? When you hit that bottomless pit of depression, are they going to bring you a ladder? When you open your heart and feel vulnerable are they going to hurt you? These are some of the deeper meanings of trust." When trust is established in a relationship nine times out of ten these two individuals are faithful to each other and their relationship. There's a commitment being institutionalized when trust is involved. Trust also provokes the couple to devote extensive time to one another, and they become sensitive to each other's feelings and desires. On the other hand when trust fails to be established, often someone is being taken advantage of. Someone will expect or suspect that the other partner is cheating. With trust comes responsibility and commitment, how do you commit without communication?.
In regards to trust, communication is also a building block in strong, sure foundational relationships. Through communication comes understanding and through understanding one has the ability to gain a better knowledge of each other's feelings. "To talk to someone you have to be on the same level as them. You hear each other out before speaking yourself. You listen to what's being said instead of thinking about what you are going to say next.
