In relationships, the big topics have to be approached with honesty. 

While the occasional white lie about the little things isn’t as likely to cause a major issue, it is absolutely imperative that couples are transparent when it comes to anything life-changing, like having kids, staying loyal, and how their finances are looking. When it comes down to it, a relationship is about partnership, and with that comes the obligation to share opinions and problems so two people can work together as a team to make both of their lives better. 

Nevertheless, it is very common for people to keep secrets from their significant others about things that they should be open about if they value their relationship. With money in particular, any struggles or mistakes that are kept under wraps have the potential to cause big issues for both people in a couple if they are not handled with the care that is needed.
