Amsterdam, Netherlands – In a world often captivated by whirlwind romances, the relationship of Kaj van der Voort and Moïse Trustfull offers a refreshing viewpoint: a love built on a foundation of deep friendship, nurtured by trust, and intentionally maintained. The couple, together for seven years, recently shared their experiences on how they keep the spark alive, admitting their connection didn’t begin with instant attraction but blossomed over time.
Their journey to romance wasn’t immediate. “We really believed that we were only friends,” Trustfull explained, recalling the pivotal moment during a holiday in Curaçao – the very island where his parents first married – when a kiss changed everything. What began as a comfortable companionship evolved into a committed partnership, now encompassing a shared home, a vision for the future, and beloved pets: a cat named Douwe-Bob and a dog named Wim.
But shared living spaces and future plans are only part of the equation. Van der Voort candidly acknowledged the ongoing effort required to sustain intimacy. “After seven years you have to figure out how to keep the ‘Steamy’,” he said, using a playful term to describe maintaining passion. The couple emphasizes the importance of deliberately carving out quality time for each other, whether it’s a cozy movie night or a quiet morning coffee.

I often think: if this is not,what then? I have faith in our relationship,that just had to grow,” he shared,highlighting the evolution of his commitment and the strength of their bond.
This trust manifests in a remarkable level of freedom and support within the relationship. Trustfull described a scenario where he informed Van der Voort of a potential three-week work trip, to which Van der Voort responded with enthusiastic encouragement: “let’s go.” This mutual respect and willingness to support each other’s individual pursuits are central to their enduring connection.
Van der Voort playfully refers to their life together as “Great Mensendingen” – a testament to the joy and fulfillment they find in their shared experiences. their story serves as a reminder that lasting love isn’t about grand gestures, but about consistent effort, unwavering trust, and a willingness to grow together.
