“Trust” is a form of intimacy. It’s a non-documented oath between people who are not necessarily sexual in their affiliation. And because “Trust” is often broken, courts were born; too, because so much “Trust” is being broken, these court systems of impartiality stay in an ongoing phase of revision, and modification.
People “Trust” to a level beneficial to their personal want. We have a tendency to “Trust” one another as far as the situation suits our behavior, but let me add, “Trust” also doesn’t stand alone; it has a partner, and that partner is faith.
“Trust” and faith go together like hand and glove, salt and pepper, or food and drink; these combinations make for better what they’re used for, and it would seem thoughtless to separate one from the other when the situation presents itself.
When Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, she wasn’t, and didn’t “Trust” Adam’s advice about what he’d warned; it didn’t sit well with her, so she had no faith in what he’d probably discussed with her more than once, or twice; most likely many times, because just like anything, stuff just don’t happen, you’ve to got to give it much thought before you act, consequently breaking “Trust” – (James 1:13-15), and that breach sliced into her and Adam’s familiarity with each other when she decided to ignore his instructions. Eve saw no benefit in listening to Adam; after all, God hadn’t consulted her. But when Adam joined her defiance, and we don’t know the reason why, but obviously he felt a motive; too, when it didn’t side with God, that’s when all hell broke loose.
Adam directly disobeyed God; breaking “Trust”, and lost faith in all God had told him about that tree. He bypassed God; pushed Him aside, subsequently the understanding, and confidence between the two was shattered; in addition, God’s order of things. (Genesis 3:17). Without “Trust” in a relationship, there’s no faith in its meaning, and intimacy is artificial.
Today we re-enact the cause and effect of the Original Sin without thought of the consequences because we’re callous to the meaning of “Trust”. Our hearts have wax cold. Relationships are conditional, “Trust” now has disclaimers attached, and the faith that’s supposed to accompany it is delusional. But not so says God. You can still “Trust” God, and those that do have no issues in God’s order of things, nor the family’s line of obedience/structure according to God. God says, He is Jesus’ head, Jesus is the man’s head, and the man is the woman’s head, (1st Corinthians 11:3); so, anything that’ll flaw that code of conduct – “Trust”, is kicking sand into God’s face.
If you have a need to check the court documents of Adam and Eve’s arguments and how it worked out for them, and how God/the Grand Jury felt about it; well, the verdict and sentence is in, (Genesis 3:14-19).

Word of note: I used Adam and Eve as an illustration of broken “Trust” because we can read about the devastation it caused quite easily in any Holy Bible but broken “Trust” in any endeavor has dire consequences. Broken “Trust” births a loss of faith; scarring closeness and is the biggest why in damaged emotions. The cries are enormously loud for this kind of betrayal to end — and it can, but it starts and ends with YOU.
Quit rewarding negative behavior of any kind. Enforce issues about your character and don’t compromise. You may start out alone, but righteousness attracts righteousness. Scripture tells us to be patient and not anxious about anything – (Philippians 4:6). Evaluate yourself and don’t lie. Truly be trustworthy. Don’t put lipstick on a pig, dress as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, or think any more of yourself than you actually are? Do you do what you say, and say what you mean at all cost? Are you punctual? Do you use brush off phrases as — I’ll try, or maybe? If so, like I said, start with yourself so your light will shine and those that need to stay hidden won’t approach you because of the fear of exposure; it’s called resisting the devil and watching him flee – (James 4:7).
The ones that are left standing, chances are were crying too, but look closer, is there light radiating from their aura, and if so, are you drawn to it, or do YOU need to flee for fear of exposure?
