Who can trust you?

"The heart of her husband safely trusts in her..." (Proverbs 31:11)

I'm not married yet (so I obviously don't have a husband :P), but this verse still hits me hard.  Just from a glance, I think that my favorite (and most challenging) characteristic of this amazing woman is summed up by just that: others have no reason to doubt that she is 100% worthy of trust.  No small print, no terms and conditions - trust, at all times, at all costs.  Trustworthiness is so rare, but so necessary!  You know, that friend you can go to and tell anything and everything to, knowing that he/she is not going to condemn you or rat you out; that person that you know you can count on no matter what.  Actually, when I think of TRUST, a few characteristics come to mind:
1)  Transparency.  It's hard for me to trust someone when I feel like they're hiding something.  As a Christian, we shouldn't have anything to hide anyway, but sometimes it's painful to live in the light, with even our failures and weaknesses out in the open for all to see.  Those close to us need to know that we're real with them, that what they see is what they get.
2) Honesty.  There is something so refreshing about a friend whose advice and input you can trust.  It's easy to go along with what everybody else says, but a true friend will tell you like it is (in love- Ephesians 4:15).  Can others come to you if they need sound, constructive criticism?
3) Reliability. Keep the promises you make; only make promises you can keep. But it's not just that... the Bible talks about making your "Yes, yes, and your no, no" (Matthew 5:37) meaning that people should be able to take us for our word without having to make us swear or promise in the first place.
4) A closed mouth.  Can others come talk to you, knowing that your conversation begins, ends and stays with the two of you?  The best way to destroy confidence and hurt others is to gossip and spill out the secrets and hearts of others that don't belong to you in the first place.
5) Stability.  Are you constant with your attitudes and actions, or are you constantly on an emotional roller coaster?  Do you control your emotions or do your emotions control you?
6) Faithfulness.  Does the way you conduct yourself leave room to any inmorality?  Are you concerned about being faithful?  If you're married (or ever plan to be), your husband has to know that you aren't going anywhere, that you are faithful to him and him alone, that you won't go around flirting with other men.  How else is he going to be able to trust you with all his heart?! <3
