Is it okay to lie to your spouse?
Same as the question in the subject line.
The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession... The LORD set his love on you and chose you... The LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery. Deut. 7

What is the lie and what does the spouse think?

Hi msnobody,
99% known is to be unknown.
Just my take.
I suppose that it's okay, but being okay seems to be, at a minimum, lacking. In my opinion, being 100% transparent with your spouse is one of the requirements for a deeply meaningful, authentic, and priceless marriage.
99% known is to be unknown.
Just my take.

Not enough information.
Probably leaning towards no.

Does lying include withholding information if she ask's you what your number?

Your spouse should have free access to your number? Right?yellowstone123 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 11:09 pmDoes lying include withholding information if she ask's you what your number?
I withhold some information on my spending. Like I'll round down. If something is £22 I'll say it's about £20. Or If I'm going to buy a drink, I'll maybe eat a chocolate bar on the way home but not announce that I bought one.

Re: Is it okay to lie to your spouse?
What are we lying about exactly? I need examples before I can vote. Just on the face of it, I don't see a reason to lie to my spouse.
I see it more as creative truth telling.

That's not lying either. It's just sparing him the details of your dietary intake.Or If I'm going to buy a drink, I'll maybe eat a chocolate bar on the way home but not announce that I bought one.
