One of the most expensive ingredients messing in modern relationships and marriages is honesty, and the evidence is shown in divorce data. Many divorces occurred as a result of infidelity or cheating. In other words, a large number of divorces were a result of dishonesty.
When you start a relationship today, there is a high probability that your partner is not honest to you or you are not honest with them. People are afraid of telling the truth for fear of rejection or losing a relationship. As a result, many relationships lack honesty. People lie their way into relationships.
Any relationship you have to lie to have is not the right relationship, the same way anyone you will lose by being honest to is not the right person you should be in a relationship with.
Telling lies seems so easy, but the damage or effect can be irreparable. You can save your partner and yourself the hurt by telling the truth. There is nothing more admirable than a spouse who tells the truth.
Do unto others what you want to be done to you. If you choose to be in a relationship, be prepared to be honest with your partner. You both are not saints or angels, so always choose honesty over perfection if you want to have a lasting relationship.
In conclusion, “If you are good, you are guided by honesty. People who can’t be trusted are destroyed by their own dishonesty” – Proverbs 11:3 (GNT)..
