If You Keep These From Your Spouse, Your Marriage Will Crumble

Experts say if you keep secrets from your spouse, your marriage won’t last.

One study found, on average people keep 13 secrets, with the most common sexual in nature, either having to do with behavior or having romantic thoughts about someone outside of the confines of your primary relationship.

And another study found that keeping secrets from a partner makes him or her less trustful of the secret-keeper, which creates a cycle that ultimately damages the relationship.
