Sorry Classic, I didn't mean to avoid anything.
I just don't understand the issue you are taking with what Mons said.
I use the word "belief" to refer to something I think is true
(e.g., I believe the sun will rise tomorrow morning)
I might confirm that belief by waiting til morning to see what happens.
I use the word "faith" to refer to something I hope is true (e.g., religion)
But almost by definition, I can't confirm the validity of that faith in any real-world way...
So, I wouldn't use the word "faith" as a description of my relationship to my partner.
Mons used "belief" and gave some of her own real world experiences as examples for why she finds her beliefs to be true.
Is that any closer to what you are getting at ?
