00:00The third type of honesty is what we will call emotional honesty, where you truly share
00:06what's on your heart and in your mind with your spouse.
00:10And then the fourth part of honesty is what we will call future honesty.
00:15And that is when you're honest about your future plans or intentions.
00:19Now what keeps us from being honest about future plans and intentions is when we operate
00:25in independent thinking, which results in independent decisions.
00:30Have you ever made a decision without consulting your spouse?
00:34And the consequences of that decision were so drastic that your partner no longer could
00:39trust your decision making.
00:41They no longer could trust your ability to do what's best for the marriage because you
00:45made a decision independent of them.
00:48But one thing we've learned about the wirings of men and women, we need both to come together
00:53to make a comprehensive decision that works for the family.
00:57Because in terms of how we are shaped and wired, oftentimes men are very what we would
01:02call farsighted in their thinking.
01:05So they're looking at the big picture.
01:06They're looking at the end result.
01:08They're looking at the goal, whereas women are more nearsighted, meaning they're looking
01:12at all the details that surrounds what leads to the goal.
01:16So if I'm making a decision independent of my spouse, then there's a lot of things that
01:20I'm not considering, and those things that I'm not considering could have a negative
01:24impact on what happens for the family.
01:26And so when you operate together as one, you're building a level of intimacy.
01:31You're building a level of trust that can engage in all of the decisions that you have
01:35to make.
01:36But when you don't do that, you're robbing yourself of what we would call future honesty.
