Trust is the foundation of a passionate relationship from "summary" of Mating in Captivity by Esther Perel
Trust lies at the heart of every passionate relationship. It is the bedrock upon which love, desire, and intimacy are built. Without trust, a relationship is like a house of cards, ready to crumble at the slightest breeze. Trust is what allows us to be vulnerable, to open ourselves up to another person without fear of judgement or betrayal. It is what gives us the courage to truly connect with our partner on a deep and meaningful level. In the absence of trust, a relationship becomes fraught with insecurity and doubt. Without trust, we are constantly second-guessing our partner's intentions, questioning their loyalty, and doubting their love for us. This leads to a cycle of jealousy, possessiveness, and control that can suffocate the passion and intimacy in a relationship. When trust is present, however, a relationship can flourish and thrive. Trust creates a sense of safety and security that allows us to let down our guard and be our true selves with our partner. It paves the way for open communication, honest expression, and genuine connection. It is the foundation upon which love can grow and deepen over time. Building trust in a relationship requires time, effort, and commitment from both partners. It involves being honest, reliable, and consistent in our words and actions. It means being there for each other, supporting each other, and showing up for each other, even when times get tough. Trust is not something that can be demanded or forced – it must be earned and nurtured through mutual respect, understanding, and empathy.- Trust is what allows us to fully surrender ourselves to the experience of love and passion. It is what enables us to let go of our fears and insecurities, and embrace the beauty and vulnerability of being truly intimate with another person. Trust is the invisible thread that binds two hearts together in a bond that is unbreakable and enduring.
