A Little saying my Dad used to reference from Alcoholics Anonymous was “You are only as sick as your secrets.”

I know in a marriage this is definitely the truth. See - here’s the deal. The truth always comes out. That’s why I think the scariest verse in the bible is

Luke 12:3 - Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.

We often believe that if we keep things secret we can eventually get over on everyone else, but secrets are silent killers like cancer within our souls. There is freedom and liberation in a marriage when both people have the freedom and trust to share openly and honestly with one another. And it doesn’t hurt if you don’t have to confess hurtful, foolish or disrespectful decisions which you’ve made.

Stay away from fire and its difficult to get burned.
