In marriage, we talk & share with our spouse daily….well at least we should. But are you truly sharing honestly & openly with your spouse?
Holding back
We have all intentions of being a good spouse & taking care of our families. So with that good intention, some may feel inclined to shave off some information. “Shaving” or holding back information is not the best thing to do in all situations.
When having a true decision & questions are asked & decisions are made, that is not the time to hold back. Give your spouse all the info needed to make an educated decision but better yet be well equipped to handle the situation. You remember telling your kids, I can’t defend you if I don’t have all the info. The same applies here.
Be open & transparent so you & your spouse can make decisions that will benefit the family as a whole. Don’t give half information.
What you do in the dark
What you do in the dark, in the shade or even in dim light will become known to your spouse eventually. Don’t do anything that you will be ashamed of if your spouse found out.
When you keep secrets or do things your spouse has asked you not to do, that is a form if lying. You gave your word this/that would happen or stop but it didn’t. You ultimately lied.
It’s best to be open & honest with your spouse. Have a discussion, share & come to a meeting of the minds. Don’t say what you think your spouse wants to hear instead tell them what you can & cannot do & keep your word.
