Importance of Trust in Relationship
Trust and faith are the basis of any relationship. It gains more importance and predominance when it comes to relationships of intimate nature as these relationships involve a lot of intimacy, emotional involvement, confidence and faith.
Trust has various dimensions in relationship. One way of looking at it is that the partners have absolute understanding that each of them will not do anything that is detrimental to the well being of the other. It is an unspoken, unsaid confidence that no harm will come to each other from the relationship they have.
It is a confidence that privacy and secrecy will be maintained. Things that are sacrosanct in the relationship will not be manipulated, abused, violated or taken advantage of. This assurance is necessary so that the partner’s are assured of the sanctity and integrity of the relationship.
Trust is also important to prevent conflict and misunderstandings in the healthy relationship. A relationship that lacks mutual assurance and is void of trust will have communication gaps. There may be doubts in the minds of partners about each other’s commitment to the relationship, insecurity about each other, and misinterpretation of words, actions and unnecessary mental disturbance.
In the absence of trust, partners start keeping tabs on each other’s activities and movements. They may keep constantly enquiring about the whereabouts of each other, with whom the partner is, why is he/she there, why did he/she not take the partner along and so on. There will be mutual distrust that will take away the depth and meaning out of the relationship.
They may start violating the privacy and personal space of each other by going through each other’s messages, call lists etc to ascertain whom have they been speaking to, what was spoken about, why so many calls to a particular person and so on. Due to the suspicion element, the basic attachment and feeling of loyalty that comes with the relationship is lost.
Partners may feel aggrieved, unsure, under confident, hesitant, insecure and not committed to each other if they do not feel there is a bond of trust and faith.
Questions and doubts about each other’s honesty, sincerity, loyalty can also put the relationship in jeopardy.
