People are always asking what the most important element to a healthy relationship is.
The 41 is there are many. But there is one really important thing that all great and
healthy relationships have in common-_42 . Yes, of course, there are some little 43
lies even in the best of relationships-44 surprises or unexpected birthday parties-but
the truth is that happy couples communicate honestly and don't 45 to protect their own
interests. So how can you have more open 46 in your own relationship?
First, remember that honesty is the best policy even 47 your partner might not like
what you have to say. Yes, it may be 48 to tell your guy that you don't like one of his
friends. But Lying or holding things 49 will make things worse in the long run.
The next thing to be 50 is to say what you have to say 51 . If your partner feels
52 ,he will be less 53 to what you have to say and may even become defensive. Your
delivery is of utmost importance when you are discussing sensitive issues. Think through what
you want to say 54 before you bring it up. You don't want to 55 the person that you
love. You just want them to be 56 0f the truth.
One last thing to keep in mind about communicating openly is that it enhances your
relationship. If you aren't honest about any dirty little 57 you may have, they will
probably come up eventually and 58 you in the backside. And if you keep things to
yourself, your relationship will not be based on the truth, which 5 9 a solid foundation.
Hard 60 the truth may be sometimes, honesty really is the best policy.
