Truth and Trust

A friend blogged a thought-provoking post about trust and truthfulness in a relationship, likening it to a chicken-or-egg problem - which one comes first? If one partner do not trust, truthfulness does not matter; conversely, if there's no truthfulness, how does the trust comes about?

I think the quality of 'trust' is in part quite like 'love' (many will say the two are synonymous) - It's something you can (and should) give freely and willingly without conditions or demands from the other party for anything, you can't very well show it, and only time can tell whether the gift is warranted or well-deserved.
