Another marriage builders are openness and honesty.

Like love and commitment, they always go together. They are Siamese twins in effective communication for married life. With openness alone, communication is not authentic. With honesty alone, communication is limited. You cannot simply be open if you are dishonest. You cannot also be honest if you are not open. You have to be both for marital communication to be effective.

-Effective communication is important in marriage and any relationship. It channels differences between you and your spouse. It connects two different people for them to become one, which is a core element in marriage.

-Openness and honesty are two marriage builders because they facilitate effective communication. Whether you are the speaker or speaker, they are both essential. They also are interdependent.

-As a speaker, if you openly talk to your spouse with everything about your day without or less of truthfulness, the talk becomes fictional. An honest talk with limited substance can also be too concealing of truthfulness. As a listener, if you are open to anything your spouse says, but dishonest to your feedback, then the talk becomes shallow. An honest yet close and biased listening and feedback can discourage more talks.

Couples should always practice these two marriage builders. You have to be both open and honest. You have to openly tell your spouse of everything with truthfulness. You have to openly listen and honestly share your thoughts and feelings of what your spouse says.

Talk is indeed cheap if they are not open and honest. Talk is also costly if they are not open and honest. Imagine a married life with half-truths. Do they build happy marriages? Do they keep lasting marriages? I do not think so.

So, openly and honestly talk and listen to your spouse. It will keep your ring forever.
