Are you a man of your word? I don’t (just) mean at work and among your friends – are you a man of your word with your wife?
When you say you will do something, do you do it? Do you do it when and how you said you would? Do you fail to do things and then blame her or something she did? Do you regularly “forget” promises? Do you hide things because you know she would not approve? Or do you hide things because you know they will upset her and you figure it’s better to just deal with them yourself?
Dishonesty and secrets will limit, hurt, or destroy your marriage. And what you’re lying about is not the issue; it’s the fact your lying that’s the problem.
Beyond those obvious things, are you being honest with her about who you are? Are you being yourself or do you keep parts of yourself from her? Sometimes silence is as dishonest as an outright lie. Your wife needs to know the real you, the good and the bad, the fun and the not-so-fun. Anything you’re trying to hide will likely come out eventually – better to be honest now than to be discovered later.
