What's the basic foundation?
June 6th 2011 00:01
Just what is the basic foundation in a relationship? Some would say, communication. Others might say intimacy. Most might say trust or honesty.
I think trust is crucial because without it there would be too much insecurity and anxiety in the relationship. In fact, it's probably true for any relationships, not just one with your partner.
TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion; suspicion generates anger; anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation.
A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is."
Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".
