Keeping Secrets

Annabelle: This is very important to me. We agreed early in our marriage to share our feelings, thoughts and challenges with each other. In fact, as a family, we have it as a core value. I don’t want surprises, I want to know what is going on, so when I am defending him, I know where I stand. Sometime ago, I got a text from a woman, making bogus claims about being with my husband at a certain time. I called her and told her off because I knew where my husband was that very day and time.

Betty: Hmm, very nice one, Annabelle. I think no woman should know anything my husband has not mentioned to me. I think it is a betrayal of trust and loyalty which puts our marriage in a bad situation. My husband likes giving brief details about everything, what I call ‘headlines’. Hence, I do my best to ask him for details. What we have decided to do is to utilise every Saturday morning, discussing every issue possible about our lives.

Gemma: This is very important because it helps to build trust in our marriage. We are still working on this area in our marriage. My husband tells some ‘white lies’ and keeps secrets. Most times, he leaves me in the dark about important decisions. There are bank accounts he runs which he has never mentioned to me. Sometimes, I wonder if he really trust me.

Chidi: These are deep discussions, a woman does not just want openness, she NEEDS it.

ACTION POINT: Build trust by sharing, per time, your intimate secrets.
NB: Ladies, we must prove that we can be trusted.
