Couple's Corner: Honesty is the best Policy

Hello! It's nice to be back to Couples Corner. I have missed this meme since December. It's my first entry for 2010 then. This is kinda late, this was supposed to be yesterday but I was preoccupied so I thought to finish it today. I feel great to be here again. Our topic for this week is " Honesty is the best policy" .

Mommy Liz is brilliant to came up with such topic as I believed that Honesty is one of the best foundation in a successful marriage life. Lies is the spawn of the father of darkness Satan. When a relationship is surrounded by lies and dishonesty the union will be divided. We may think that it is okay to lie sometimes when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger. It may take care of the present but it has no future.

I know I have a lot of shortcomings when it comes to honesty. I many times tried to avoid petty quarrels by diverting the truth into simple white lies. However, I conclude that whenever I am caught the small quarrel that I am avoiding turned our worse. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to care for his present situation, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. It's a crime then to lie.

So on our marriage, as much as possible on my best ability I try to tell the truth. When truth is divided, errors multiply. As human as we are, my husband commit the same mistake. He lied to me a few times. However, as we know that dishonestly breeds deceit , we try to avoid it as much as we could. I just wish I have the magic to read minds so I may know that He is totally honest with me. But I wish too that he would not have the same magic so I wouldn't be caught some times. LOL!

Remember honest heart, produces honest actions. An honest man is the noblest work of God. Dare to be honest , each time you are honest and conduct yourself with honesty, a success force will drive you toward greater success. Each time you lie, even with a little white lie, there are strong forces pushing you toward failure. So to make your marriage work let it be grounded with honesty.
