Which is more important in a relationship?
Love or Trust?
Both!
There can be no love without trust...
@ Dawaskee!!!
I know both are impotant in a relationship but if you are given an opinion which will you choose?
well both is very important but the most, i will say is love ,
I believe if you LOVE anybody, you naturally will TRUST the person. So, Love is more important. An unconditional Love.

They are both important!
In my opinion, based on percentage; 65% Love and 35% Trust. This is probably because I believe there can be no TRUST when there is no LOVE. In addition, Love should have attained a relatively high level before Trust can be meaningful.
@Dagunro!
Thanks for your opinion.
However I have seen cases where men love their women without necessarily loving them a case so typical of our modern marriages in Nigeria today.
Most husbands love their wives, but trust them: ;D ;D ;D
Love !!!
love without trust is full of heartach,misunderstanding, problem etc before any true love, there must be trust. You cant love one that u dont trust.For me l say TRUST comes first
trust shd come first
I guess u folks are getting it all wrong or mixed up. The first question we should ask here is: WHAT IS LOVE? Love can simply be defined by its properties and based on this, different people have different definitions for love. A litmus test for love is this: If this person you say you love has a kidney failure, how easy will it be for you to donate your kidney. Would you give a long thought or would just go ahead a do it? Again, this person you say you love this much, if he/she gets an acid bath would you still love him/her? Love is deeper than we think it is and anything less than that is not love. Such thing could have a lot of names and one of them is 'infactuation'. Distrust on the other hand means absence of trust and it means you lack of confidence. It means you cannot share secrets, dreams, passion etc with such a person. So tell me, How could you love someone you cannot share you personal life with? In conclusion, I would want to say that Love and Trust are not mutually exclusive. You cannot love a person you don't trust and vice versa. They are both different states of one thing. ;)
LOVE IS A PHILOSOPHY, AN ILLUSSION, A FEELING......BUT TRUST IS ASSERTIVE AND REAL
NEVER YOU LOVE WITHOUT TRUST.....OOHH!!!1
KEEP IT REAL

It is far better t say I tTRUST YOU than to say I LOVE YOU. So, TRUST is the first. There is no way you won't love the person you TRUST. TRUST first then LOVE
To me,TRUST and love are both basic necessity in a real relationship.Though love is important ,but TRUST is the oil that keeps the relationship working.It is impossible to love someone you don,t trust because TRUST makes you belief all that your partner tells you.Even right from the first day he/she proposed to woo you,your intuitive device have to be convinced that all those sweet words he/she is telling you are right,and this makes you to fall for the person.So,TRUST is the foundation stone upon which LOVE is built.
Am beginning to enjoy the debate :) ;) :D ;D
hey Guys, to me i would say Trust first becos, i can love someone and not be 80% open to the person, but i can't just trust someone like that,i find it difficult to Trust and once i do,u re sure of my 99% love
It s very easy to say "I LUV" but its not easy in real sense to put to practice.Going by the fundermental definition of LUV,which has already been given by UCHENNA 333.But 1 tin remain paramont,u can not LUV someone u dont TRUST,cos LUV n its real sense is DIVINE and ETERNAL.Just as the one our lord and saviour JESUS CHRIST gave to all.
CHRIST trusted us all,that given HIS life 4 the redemption of our sins,we will in return trace our step back,and leave a life that will glorify GOD.So dat we'll all be wt HIM wen the trumpet wil be blown.
Ironically,HE has somehw lost trust in some of us cos of the way we leave our life.I wil want to use this medium to remind as many as possible,that mit be opportune to go tru this,that is high time we check our selves properly.And live a life that will glorify HIM.
NOTE:No man is perfect,this applicable to all.
Lastly,if christ can TRUST us,by giving HIS life 4 us,which is the total demonstration of LUV.I'll want to agree that TRUST comes before LUV
well trust and love work hand in hand
As LOVE is dynamic, so also is TRUST. Martin Luthar King jnr once said that " Black men all over the world shall be judge not by their colour but by the content of their character. Character is the principal thing that bridge the gap between the duo. Before LOVE disappears, TRUST must first of all evaporate. Have you ever ask yourself this question- Why do men kill their most trusted business associates? Why do men send their most precious wives packing leaving the kids behind? LOVE, if well played is stronger than the Rock of Gilbrota and whiter than the cliff of Dora. For the scripture said, Love covers multitude of sin. As LOVE covers sin, so it covers deep secrets which only a person can tells to the one he TRUST. The secret of existence is LOVE and TRUST, if one is tamper with, both disappears .
One love naija people, merry xmas and happy new year.

i think love naturally gives way for trust. the latter is embedded in the former.
4 d fact dat u love d person means u trust him/her.so both go hand in hand.without luv,no trust and vice-verse.
@Ginelo
If you are given an opition which will you chose
Love or trust
I PRESUME LOVE IS A PARAMOUNT THING IN A RELATIONSHIP THEREBY WHERE THERE IS NO LOVE THERE IS NO TRUST.SO LOVE COMES FIRST.
@ Chinuma!!!
You can fall in love with your enemy.
Does that mean you trust him/her?
;D ;D ;D
LUV OR TRUST? I SAY LUV AND TRUST!! BECAUSE BOTH ARE VERY ESSENTIAL .IF U LUV SOMEONE BUT U DONT TRUST THE PERSON THEN THE RELATINSHIP IS BOUND TO FAIL "COS THERE 'LL BE A WHOLE LOT OF ISSUES ARISING FROM UNNECESSARY LITTLE THINGS,CONSTANT MISUNDERSTANDINGS, NO PEACE,NO PROGRESS.... ON THE OTHER HAND IF YOU TRUST SOMEONE BUT YOU DONT LUV THE PERSON ,THEN YOU NEED TO DEFINE EXACTLY THE KIND OF RELATIONSHIP YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT B'COS I THINK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT AN OFFICIAL BUSINESS DEAL!!
Mmmmm..... :)
Both are equally important. However, if love comes first in a relationship, it will enable you to develop trust. Although this works the other way around too.Quote:

Coolguy, the thing is love contains everything in a relationship with trust inclusive so in a nutshell, in any relationship, it starts with likeness, passion, trust, caring, kindness, loyalty, good behaviour e.t.c so all now merge to produce love which cements and mends everything.
So to answer the question, love is the most important thing in a relationship. hope U find one aroud you in Nigeria today - You must be lucky.
@Saks!
I don't quite agree with you.
Most husbands love their wives without necessarily trusting them.
You can fall in love with your enemy but can never trust him/her. :) ;) :D ;D
trust,there can be no love without trust
Coolguy, with the looks of things it seems like youre really catching fun with this topic you raised.
Reading thru the replies, i could see that almost (if not all the females) chose trust to be more important in a relationship than love; well i'll go with them since it sure makes sense.
WOW!!! ITS SO GOOD TO BE BACK IN THE HOUSE AFTER SO LONG AN ABSENCE.

Yea, i quite agree with u Coolguy dat most men love their wifes without trusting them, But remember that it also happens that most men dont love their wives anymore but trust their wives 99%, so my dear, it happens in different ways. But i will say that LOVE comes first then TRUST helps to build it stronger.
hey guys wats the fuss all about - ni Love ko trust. try and pause a bit and ask una sef which has ever triumph in realtionship NONE! coolguy i think the question could have been Respect and Love. for i believe that if u dont respect ur guy or girl both love and trust become and illusion so guy be properly guided and ask intelligent questions that will set minds boggling and not just emotionally cheap posers ok.
@ Umunnakwenu
Sorry if my posts seem to unset you but bear in my that this post is not for everybody is for the mature mind and your post just brand you as a child.
