I notice many people has ruin relationship by not honest or open with their partner.. Meaning they like to keep secrets from their partner because they're afraid of what people will think of them, or they're afraid of rejection. However, then the secret usually comes out after marriage for couple of years.. and the spouse wishes they had known prior to the wedding so they could have made a more informed decision prior to making a lifelong commitment. They feel like somebody kept something which seriously would have a problem later on.. What do you think? Do you think by always open without secret will makes relationship longer than the ones who like to keep secret from their partner?

Yes, if you have a secret in your partner your relationship is get worst. If iam in a relationship, i dont want to have secret with him/her because i will be a good relationship.

I think that there are some secrets that people keep that are meant to be kept and not shared until/if the person ever feels like sharing them. Secrets such as traumatic events in a person's past are the type of secrets I am talking about. Other secrets, ones that could have an impact on the relationship, should, in my opinion, be shared before marriage. I believe that all people have certain things that they just simply do not tell anyone at all. Normally they are things that have happened in the past and will not hurt the relationship at all. There is a big difference between not sharing a secret from your childhood and being dishonest and deceitful. Dishonesty and deceitfulness are the things that can and will ruin a relationship.

You have good points..Some secret can be and should be shared even before marriage..I am sure if people do that then everything in their relationship will become smoother and they also feel free to express something and this relax feeling will ensure long run relationship..Since trust each other is main root to maintain our relationship as long as possible..

Of course, there should be always a privacy with each of your partner. However, if your partner is happily married with you, you don't really have the valid reason to keep yourself secret all the time.

It's too complex. I did not know if I could tell my secrets or not. I really have a big secret and I think anytime I will not be ready to tell my secret. I knew I would ruin my relationship if I went telling her my secrets. I thought I better kept on my own and trying to be a good lover. I promised I would not repeated my secret when I have married with her.

hi, hmm,i think that is true,because why we need to keep secrets to our partner,meaning if one of the couple keep a secret she/he have something she/he did that will surely make his/her partner angry,and aside from that keeping secrets will lessen the trustworthy of each other.

Keeping a secret is okay. If this is between couples, it is not okay. Being honest and open to your partner is very important to keep your relationship healthy. If there is true love and trust between you and your partner you should not fear to tell him/her of your dark past. That was the past and the present is different. I'm sure your partner will understand it. There should always be an open communication between couples so that they can accompany one another whatever she/he is going through. If the secret if about your past relationships,just tell her/him if asked. Don't hide or sugar coat it. Let it out. One has to be prudent on what information to share.If keeping it will be more healthier than to let it out better choose to keep it. trust and love must be maintained and lived by you and your partner .

Honesty is always the best thing, I always look at dishonesty as being taken for a fool and not worthy of being told the truth and you are right the truth always does come out in the end.

I have two answers. If I love him , then he is my boyfriend then I would tell him everything as we get closer and closer. But if I am married then I wouldn't tell a husband a damn thing. A boyfriend is there for love . And I want him to Know the real me. A husband , is there for? I don't know but it isn't love. So it really doesn't matter what he knows or doesn't know. I must confess I was scared to tell my secret thoughts to my guy . But he is so easy to talk to and we were friends first so I got brave and told him Everything and... he Still loves me. So I agree. If you want the relationship to last and to be based on truth , then tell your partner Everything!

The foundations of a stable relationship are transparency, trust and faithfulness and without these three elements a relationship is doomed to disintegrate. Love, although considered a major factor, has the tendency to evaporate once trust is already absent. Problems are part of life and a couple can survive any kind of storm for as long as the foundations are strong.

Keeping secrets that involves a third party is a sin. But keeping a secret that doesn't involve the risk of ruining the relationship is just fine. We all have secrets, it just varies in different levels. Trust is the best answer for this dilemma.

Before you enter into any relationship, you should know that the person you are with is trustworthy. In a relationship, both should be transparent. This is a key to a stronger relationship.
