Keeping Secrets

Are you keeping a secret from your spouse? I’ve heard women say, “I don’t tell my husband everything,” and some men fail to mention information and feel as though it’s okay to conveniently forget to disclose information. Is that the same thing as telling a lie?

Moved by an article I read on MSN called “Five Secrets you Should Never Keep,’”  The question came to mind…are you worried about the consequences of sharing information that may cause relationship upset that could lead to trust issues in your marriage, or even divorce?

If you open up to your spouse will it save your marriage?  I believe in sharing my feelings with my husband especially if it’s something that I am deeply concerned about. I don’t believe in keeping secrets that are going to weigh heavily on my conscious. I don’t want to have anything in my heart, mind, or spirit that will come up later and cause upset. When you empty your heart you free your mind, and the honesty will create a bond between you and your spouse. After reading the article I’m convinced it’s the best way to be, open and honest with your spouse. Don’t leave anything out that will come back later to hurt your spouse anyway, and leave you filled with regret for not being completely honest. Most of the time it’s easier to be honest upfront rather than trying to explain something years after the fact.

Feel free to share your thoughts. I’d love to hear from you!
