Ladies, there is a reason your husband is hiding the truth from you. A lot of women have trained their husbands to conceal the truth from them. Put yourself in your husband's shoes. He takes a HUGE risk to be honest with you. And what is his reward? SILENCE, ANGER, CRYING, HITTING, VERBAL ABUSE, GOSSIP, DEPRESSION, OR IN EXTREME CSES, DIVORCE. The minimum sentence is a night on the sofa. Is it any wonder why men don't tell their wives the truth? Why some ladies can't swallow the bitter pills of truth is because the lack the tenacity to handle it. There is a strength for handling the Truth. This strength don't just come by default, you need to be full within to exert this strength. You need to develop your capacity to handle issues no matter how ugly and smelly they are. Any relationship based on truth and transparency stands the test of time. If you can't stand the truth, then don't ask your spouse to be truthful.... Its as simple as that but if and only if you build your capacity and tenacity to handle issues, you won't only be your husband's wife but his best friend too.
