Some Quotes About How To Maintain Trust In Relationship

You can never fully say that you love someone if you don’t trust them. Trusting someone means that you believe in that person to never betray you and your relationship. It means that you have confidence that they are capable of keeping the promise you’ve made to each other and that they value your relationship as much as you do.

Although fully entrusting yourself to someone is rather difficult, you need to have faith in them because being distrustful can sometimes reflect how you truly feel about yourself. At times, some people project to others how they feel and see themselves. You might have been doing the same too, you just don’t notice it. Remember that for trust to exist and continue to exist, you need to trust yourself first.

11. “Relationships are mysterious. We doubt the positive qualities in others, seldom the negative. You will say to your partner: do you really love me? Are you sure you love me? You will ask this a dozen times and drive the person nuts. But you never ask: are you really mad at me? Are you sure you’re angry? When someone is angry, you don’t doubt it for a moment. Yet the reverse should be true. We should doubt the negative in life, and have faith in the positive.” – Christopher Pike

12. “The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in ” – Thomas Merton

Harm is inflicted; it’s a choice some people make.” – David Richo
