Trust, a key component of any relationship!

Being away from home now for over a month and a half with a bunch of people (some very VERY dysfunctional) has taught me to appreciate my relationship with my husband even more. We have had our own interesting relationship, we have spent more time apart than what we have together, not on purpose of course but because our post-secondary education meant alot to both of us as well. In that time we have developed a trust that is truly unparallelled. There are people here that upon crossing the provincial border, the trust in their relationship has completely dissolved. Wow. Absolutely astounding when one really thinks about it. It's no wonder the divorce rate in this country and many others like it is so damn high. Trust is something that is no doubt is in one's own self interest (yeah we are greedy little buggers aren't we) but trust should be selfless, it should be in the interest of others moreso than oneself. I wish that more people recognize this, but it is unfortunate that the vast majority will not.
