Certainly not. Every piece of relationship advice we've ever heard says that open and honest communication is the key to a successful and healthy relationship. What matters is how you communicate with your spouse and whether or not you express your thoughts. Advice should be offered so that everyone has the chance to flourish. You shouldn't have to worry about hurting someone's feelings by saying the wrong thing. It is best to offer advice when you have all the information, which means when you know what your spouse wants and doesn't want. If you don't know enough about them to give good advice, then you're in trouble anyway because they won't listen to you! People need to learn how to communicate their wishes and desires without being told what to do. In order to do this, they need guidance from those who care for them. This can only come from experience or learning from others. Since no one person can possibly know everything there is to know about relationships, listening to and taking advice from others is important. Spouses need to understand that nobody knows it all and that it's OK if they don't like or agree with every decision that's made. It's also helpful if they remember that you were born human too and make allowances for any mistakes that you might have made in the past. As long as these two things are kept in mind, giving advice is an excellent idea.
