Love is always mentioned in pop love songs, movies, novels and short stories as well as in the lives of the people around us. Yet, it seems that for some people, love doesn’t last long. Without a healthy level of trust, romance won’t flourish. Instead, doubts and problems will arise.
Love only flourishes in an atmosphere of trust. Without trust, any love that arises will either be short-lived or a temporary passionate outburst.
If you’ve recently survived an affair, you need to deal with your hurt and restore trust. The good thing, however, is that you can decide for yourself to go beyond what you have gone through. You should have a deep talk with your partner and assess how you can work things out.
In many cases, one of the ingredients of trust is missing. You have some of the ingredients, yet not all of them. Trust with missing ingredients remains flawed. The two of you may be talking, yet lack the other requirements for a healthy foundation of trust.
Romance needs the healthy kind of trust. Much like flowers need soil, nutrition and sunlight in the right proportions, your marriage has requirements as well.
Remember that love doesn’t grow very easily. It takes effort to foster a love that lasts. Healthy romance includes stimulation, security, and sharing. It also includes being able to be honest with each other about the expectations you have of each other.
Those expectations need to be talked about between the two of you. Both in terms of what you expect and what they expect from you.
Unconditional love rarely exists in this world and your partner should also display the same level of commitment in rebuilding your marriage. Without this level of commitment, your marriage would not be rebuilt.
Trust is always necessary in ensuring that your marriage will once again become better. Rebuilding your trust is also anchored in the romance that you both enjoy.
When you cultivate the love between you and your spouse, you can be sure to take the road to healing on a faster route. Go out on dates again and live a life of love. Before long, you will be able to feel the love and the trust between you returning.
