Will not be revealed in this post. But this post IS about secrets. Recently, on an episode of Lipstick Jungle (guilty pleasure acknowledge) Victory spilled the beans that her fiance is having money issues to her friend. The fiance found out, didn’t get angry but did tell her that within the relationship there needed to be a certainly leave of confidentiality.

Personally, I think it’s a great idea for couple to keep secrets together. Every couple should share with each other secret emotions, hopes dreams and thoughts. They should be protected by the other person like they are gold. I like to think that people are the sum of their secrets and the only way someone can truly know you is by opening yourself up. Sometimes we feel that self-preservation is in order and we need to keep thoughts, feelings, stories to ourselves to maintain a certain appearance. Your spouse married you for a reason and opening up shouldn’t be as hard as we sometimes make it.

Secrets don’t have to be life altering, share little things too. Share stories about your past that may seem inconsequential or dreams you had in your childhood. Share the things you don’t think anyone would care about because chances are, you spouse will care. It’s another way to get just a little closer everyday.

And just for reading, I will share a secret with you. When I was little, my mom told me that the clouds were not from nature, rather there were cloud factories. If we passed a factory with smoke bellowing out from a smokestack, I would ask what kind of cloud it was making that day. When I learned about clouds in science class - I didn’t believe the teacher. I asked about the cloud factories. You can imagine the laughter that followed. Wow - even writing that secret makes me feel embarrassed to this day but now I feel even closer to all of you.

Now go on and share something private with your spouse!
