In a strong relationship, you will probably recognize these behaviors as a normal part of settling into more of a routine and relaxed life together. Without trust, however, even the smallest things can seem like a "make or break" situation. While that may be exciting, it's also not healthy.

At times, it can be tempting to stay in these types of relationships. We think that uncertainty and drama is what true love is made of (thanks a lot, Hollywood). But the reality is that, in the long run, they will not make you happy.

Sure, drama in relationships makes really good television and movie storylines. But real life isn't like a movie. And honestly, its better that way. Not everything in life has to be a dramatic life or death situation. 

With that all being said, life is still messy and can be overwhelming at times. So it might feel like we are stuck in the middle of a dramatic scene. But the best part about life is that it goes on and you always find a way. Either the drama broke your relationship or made you stronger.

Either way, you figured it out. You have to do what's best for you. 

So what exactly is trust? Why is it so essential for a loving and lasting partnership? To answer these questions, look no further than these 11 relationship trust quotes and wise words straight from Charles J. Orlando:
