Pretty soon there are a lot of things going on in your life that your spouse has no clue about, and they don't even know you anymore.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932547748512752260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714940922914584417.post-77075554219203480172012-12-13T05:57:18.099-08:002012-12-13T05:57:18.099-08:00I think honesty is kind of a tricky one.

Knowing when to keep your mouth shut so that your partner isn't hurt is also just as important as knowing how to tactfully relay the truth to your partner.

And while most people cite honesty, intimacy, and mutual enjoyment, I don't think I've ever heard someone mention "allowing each other to change."<br /><br />How insightful. I'll have to consider all these things in my next relationship.

I've heard it said that people wake up after 25 years of marriage and say they don’t know the person they’re married to anymore. Well where the hell were you during all that time when they were changing?"<br /><br />This definitely stood out to me.It's so so important that we are looking at change as an opportunity to develop. It's the most honest way to deal with something that inevitable;change. Especially because change isn't always comfortable.<br /><br />Definitely a great read, and agree that these are some ingredients to a healthy relationship. <br /><br />kudos!Simona @missnoceprnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714940922914584417.post-11784368824679087942012-12-12T11:21:05.893-08:002012-12-12T11:21:05.893-08:00Good point on allowing each other to change!!
