Transparency in Marriage

Tweet

I just thought of starting a discussion on a woman's transparency towards her partner because I just had one recent realization that there is really nothing to be scared about when it comes to being transparent to your husband. Most women I know (at least in the Philippines) are afraid to tell the truth about what they think and feel they like doing or would like to do. A woman would refuse to defend herself and her rights just to avoid any arguments with her husband. When outside, she would rush home thinking that her husband would get home ahead, and completes the household chores so that her husband wouldn't think she is neglecting her duties. When her husband arrives ahead, she would make the best excuses just to avoid being scolded. A woman surely misses her individuality. She also likes to be with her friends. She likes to engage in social gatherings. But she cannot do all of these because she is scared to be called a failure. Woman--you will never be happy if you do not learn to open up. No matter how hard it is to try, just say whatever you have to say. If you think you deserve to party, go ahead, say it. If you miss your friends, tell your hubby. If he does not agree, ask him why. If you think you have the right, speak up.
