Why Brutal Honesty Will Destroy Your Marriage—A Husband’s Warning
Complimenting your spouse is part of marriage. Even if you know better cooks, telling her her food is the best meal you’ve ever eaten makes her smile and keeps joy alive. The same goes for her appearance. Calling her the most beautiful woman reminds her she’s your one and only. Marriage means uplifting your partner. Harsh truths about their looks or character can linger and hurt them later. Casual comments like “you weren’t my type at first” give trolls ammunition and wound your spouse’s feelings. Handle sensitive topics with love, not courtroom honesty. When issues arise, approach them gently and privately. Brutal honesty is a recipe for disaster in any union.
