6. Keeping secrets from one another.

Unless we are planning a surprise party for our spouse, we have no business keeping any secrets from him/her.

When we keep secrets of any kind from each other, we limit the amount of intimacy we can experience with one another.

Consider each secret to be a brick that we are adding to a “wall of secrets” between us and our spouse. Some bricks might be bigger than others, but all secrets are the building blocks of the wall.

There should be no barricade between husband and wife. We must stay inside the same boundary lines, and the “wall of secrets” is certainly out of bounds. There should be no SECRET money, friends, texts, emails, letters, jobs, purchases, phone calls, phones, social media exchanges, social media accounts, health issues, trips, outings, lunches, dinners, etc..
