We can all agree that one of the major problems marriages and relationships are facing today is the problem of trust, and that is centred on privacy and transparency. While both partners may agree to be transparent in their dealings, a situation may arise where one of them decides to adopt a private lifestyle.
For relationships or marriages to work, the partners must adopt a transparent lifestyle towards each other and remain committed to it. This is my candid opinion, but on the other hand, some people say that a relationship based on privacy can also work very well because it shows 100 percent trust and leaves no room for reasons not to trust each other.
I’m currently in a relationship, and the terms are on a transparent ground. My girl knows the passcode to my phone, and there’s absolutely nothing I’m hiding. The same thing applies to her, I have access to her phone, her bank, and almost everything. I know there’s a possibility for someone to hide something even in the midst of transparency, that’s very possible, but we are living our lives openly with each other. As it stands currently, once I notice any slight form of privacy that smells fishy, I would politely ask, and I expect her to open up. If she doesn’t, that means a red flag has appeared.
Privacy in marriage can give rise to a situation where either the man or the woman starts building a house somewhere without the knowledge of the other partner. If transparency is in place, one could easily notice anything of such and ask the partner what is going on. But again, if the partner who is building the house is very desperate, he or she could actually do that without giving room for their partner to notice. Yes, it happens that way.
Well, no matter how people try to speak well about a relationship or marriage that is built on privacy, I don’t like it. I prefer a transparent situation because it shows trust, and trust is one of the key things a marriage or relationship needs to work.
Thanks!
