"I trust him." "I trust her." Something not so nice happens in the relationship and suddenly this five letter word is all lost in the confusion and turmoil, overtaken by anger, sadness and regret. What then happened to the trust? Is it trust when it can be shattered?
It all depends on what the trust between the both of you is based on. If it is dependent on what the person do (send flowers? send you home? open the door for you?) or what the person say (sweet words? loving words? mushy words??!!), then REMEMBER THIS......the day that all these are not done anymore, suddenly the trust starts to disintegrate. You begin to doubt if the person really does love you anymore.
So what then should it be based on???
Try having a foundation that never changes. A love that is constant, unselfish, sacrificial and most of all, eternal. Try Him. If both of you have the same foundation and are committed to have a close walk with Him, surely He will guide and lead you. And if He loves you, surely He will bless you.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths."
Today, I ask that I will not lean on my own understanding. I will trust.

Trust is usually based on past experiences. When we have good memories, we will expect similiar results.
Hence, we give more and expect more. And when we are given more, then we need to do more. Inevitably, we need grace when we fail.
Grace in itself is not easily given unless they have received. "Freely your receive, freely you shall give" (Mt 10:8) And it is done out of love.
Trust is earned. Love reconciles when trust is broken. Additionally, you said it rightly, it depends where your source of trust and love comes from.
