Would you marry someone that you love, but don't trust? Do you think love and trust go hand in hand?

Love is how you feel about someone, while trust is how you feel about what they do. You can love but not trust and trust but not love.
Love and trust together are the ultimate.

Never.
The 2 go hand in hand, real love cannot flourish in the absence of trust.
Thanks for this!

My mom says that love and trust don't go hand in hand. They think it's possible to love someone, but not trust them. What's the point of marrying someone you love, but don't trust? It will only end in heartache and pain.

My Aunt always says, "If you don't have trust, you don't have anything." She's been in a happy marriage for forty years.

But I married my husband not entirely trusting him. He lies when it's convenient for him, to avoid conflict. I suspect he cheated on me, at least once. He handles all the money, and while I trust him to take care of us, I don't entirely trust what he does with money.

It would be wonderful to trust the person you're with. Sounds like a non-existent paradise to me though! But it does exist.

I do believe it is possible to love someone without trust but I don't think I could ever marry someone / have a long-term relationship unless I trusted them... it could never end well without trust!

I could never love someone I don't trust. I don't just love people based totally on emotions. I have to like someone before I ever could love them & there is no way I like anyone I don't trust because there is no way I respect people I don't trust & for me respect is the foundation for love.

I lived 33 years in a marriage that I realized only after leaving it that there never was love because I lost respect for him the month before the wedding when I saw his true colors.

Marriage is a co-operation relationship, so trust is a primary part of it. I'd say morals though, since truth is inside morals.
I see morals as the base of a marriage relationship. All else does not matter, it's about what each wants.

No.Made that mistake once when I was young and stupid! All relationships require some degree of trust. Marriage requires a lot of trust!

On another note..I do agree with a lot said above about Love and Trust not nescarily always going hand and hand. There are many kinds of love. Trust can be broken in a second's time. Love does not dissappear so quickly. Imho, if someone holds even a sliver of my heart then I will always have love for them..but that doesn't mean I still trust them or ever did really. I love my mum but I don't ever really remember trusting her.
