Honesty

Is it possible to be to honest? Does your spouse/friend need to know every little fault you have?

Can honesty be cruel? Do you tell your wife every time she has bad breath?

She might take offense, if not presented in a thoughtful, loving way, but from a wife's point of view, I know I'd appreciate knowing that fact before opening my mouth to talk to anyone else in public.
Aren't wives generally more honest to their husbands, even more honest than their husbands care about sometimes, it seems, than husbands are to wives?

If you are going to live transparently, you will have to be honest about your own faults. Now I don't believe that you have to point out the others faults but rarely.

To the extent you are opwn with your spouse, is the same extent that you will share joy with your spouse. Hide from her, and you hide alone!
