tutis: trusted, protected, safe

inservio: to be a slave, serve, be devoted to

pareo: to be obedient to, obey.

dominus: master, lord

ardor -oris m. [flame , burning, heat]; of bright objects, [gleam]; of feelings (esp. of love), [heat, eagerness]; meton., [an object of love, loved one].

confido -fidere -fisus sum [to have complete trust in , be assured]. Hence
partic.

... just throwing the idea out there... I wish you both all the best!

Thanks, those are nice. We've decided that if we have two words it must be what we want to tell the other we feel.

She's settled for having the word "obedience" on hers. I on the other hand would like to have something that's a combination of "authority" and "loyalty". "Care" would be nice to fit in...but it may get a bit crowded. Got any latin ones for that?
