Cupid and Psyche’s love teaches the reader the importance of trust in any close, emotional relationship, and especially for love to prosper. Through Psyche’s quest we can say that people who are able to rely on others will gain their trust making it possible for there to be love. “Love cannot dwell with suspicion.” If you don’t trust your wife, relative, loved one or friend they won’t feel confident to love you and become vulnerable and open to you. If throughout your relationship you are always questioning the other person, doubting everything, you won’t be able to look beyond your suspicions and appreciate who that person is, visualize what you could have together, jump in and decide to start creating a real relationship. You can always end it if the person breaks your trust in an unforgivable way.
It is always said that in a relationship you have to give in order to receive. Cupid and Psyche aren’t the exception. In a way by accepting the other person and trusting them, you are giving them the gift of your heart, the gift of your trust, a new door to possibilities. “Drink this, Psyche, and be immortal; nor shall Cupid ever break away from the knot in which he is tied, but these nuptials shall be perpetual.” As Mercury blesses Psyche’s love she is moved to trust Cupid who constantly fulfills almost all her desires.
Cupid and Psyche give an important lesson of trust and acceptance which isn’t only the best way to win another person’s heart, it is the only way.

I think you are referring to "liquid love" in the first paragraph.
