Why the lies?  Why the deception?  Why the dishonesty?

There are some root reasons why your spouse is being dishonest with you.

For whatever you want to believe about "character flaw" and "no morals," that is not likely to be the real issue.

Sure, there are some "pathological liars."  And there are psycho/sociopaths out there.  But that is not likely to be your spouse.  (Possible, just statistically unlikely.)

So, let's be honest -- everyone is a little dishonest.  We all choose not to say everything that crosses our minds (thank goodness!).

And we all hedge when asked about that new hairstyle, that new dress, the new furniture, etc.  That is how we keep friends and keep from hurting feelings.

But what about those bigger "dishonesties"?  Why does your spouse tell you a lie or choose not to tell you the truth?

I discuss 3 big reasons why there may be dishonesty in your relationship.  It may change how you respond.
