MYTH #6: Sometimes lying is necessary in a relationship.
TRUTH: “There are six things the Lord hates—no, seven things he detests: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.” Proverbs 6:16-19
Did you catch that in the list of things God literally hates, He lists lying TWICE! There’s no place for dishonesty in any form in relationships.

Unless you’re throwing a surprise birthday party, there is no place for secrets or lies in your relationship.
