Be transparent and honest from "summary" of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman, Ph.D.

Being transparent and honest in a relationship is essential for building trust and intimacy. It means being open and sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with your partner. This openness creates a sense of emotional connection and vulnerability that can deepen your bond with each other. When you are transparent and honest, you are showing your partner that you respect and value them enough to be truthful with them. Honesty also involves being truthful about your actions and intentions. It means not hiding things or being deceitful in any way. This level of honesty can prevent misunderstandings and conflicts in the relationship. It allows both partners to be on the same page and work towards a common goal. When you are transparent and honest, you are fostering a sense of teamwork and collaboration in your relationship. In a marriage, being transparent and honest can help you navigate through difficult times and challenges. When both partners are open and honest with each other, they can work together to find solutions and support each other through tough situations. This level of communication can strengthen your relationship and help you weather any storm that comes your way. However, being transparent and honest does not mean sharing every single detail of your life with your partner. It is important to use discretion and judgment when deciding what to share. Some things may be better left unsaid if they will cause unnecessary harm or hurt. Being transparent and honest also involves being sensitive to your partner's feelings and being mindful of how your words and actions may impact them.
  1. Being transparent and honest in a marriage is about creating a safe and trusting environment for both partners to express themselves openly. It is about being authentic and genuine in your communication and actions. When you prioritize transparency and honesty in your relationship, you are laying the foundation for a strong and lasting connection with your partner.
