Several years later we heard that they had created a very loving and nourishing life together. Honesty also involves the willingness to openly share feelings, hopes and dreams. Honesty requires that we share our hurts and pain as well as our joy and fulfillment. With honesty a relationship can blossom. Without it a relationship is likely to choke and wither.
Timing is also a valuable consideration.
This inner pause and reflection gives you a better chance to be sensitive and even compassionate. Ask yourself if there is important information you are keeping from your partner. Honesty can bring a deep healing between the two of you. Be committed to honesty and your relationship will grow in understanding, trust and love. Look for it at your favorite bookstore.
