"Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue. Honesty is hardly ever heard, and mostly what I need from you." Billy Joel had it right! Honesty these days is hard to find but its what we all need.
Love rejoices in truth! In our marriages we must maintain honesty. Your spouse is one with you and should be privy to all of you. Proverbs 12:19 says, "Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment." The only way to build a strong and long lasting marriage is in truth!
Truth in love is a joyous thing. While being honest and truthful, be sure your honesty comes in a loving way though. Have you ever heard the saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"? Remind yourself of that. Its better to stay quiet sometimes rather than tear someone down in your truth. Our goal in bringing honesty and truth in the marriage is to help it grow not to hinder it.
