Why should one lie to his/her spouse?

Lying in a relationship is extremly wrong and can cause a split so I would say you should never lie. There are a few exceptions that some ppl would call lies but in honesty they are the truth because it is love not lies lol. If she is pregnent and asks you if she is fat or looks bad and you say she looks beautiful or if she has gained a few pounds and asks if she is fat or perhaps she burnt dinner and breaks down and crys and you say it tastes great these are not lies it is called love so use your judgement but you should never lie to your spouse or lover

all people lie; but if you really love someone and feel totally comfortable with that person, you will be able to open up and share things with them that you don't with anybody else.  Evaluate your relationship and if you're letting him express himself without there being a sense of rejection or judgement, if you are creating a safe environment for him and he still lies, he probably will always lie to you and trust is a cornerstone of a healthy relationship.

when you figure that out let me know.  I have the same problem.  My husband lies about everything.

Its very clear that he is a liar, as if the wife really was a liar, she would be revealing a truth to her husband. In other words, she was telling the truth, so she couldn't be a liar. So, obviously the husband was just making it up.

lying, whether about sex, or whatever is bad.  That also includes omission.  If it is something the other person should know, omission, or withholding is also considered lying

I would. Most pathalogical liars do not want to be telling the lies they are telling, it's a compulsion. If they tell you it would most likely be because they want your acceptance and understanding of the situation.

Some people do that because they may be afraid of committment. Others because they have a trust problem. They had bad relationships in the past. So they have a hard time trust their spouse. Or because they are stupid.

Honesty is the best policy,  Sometimes the truth might hurt, but a lie is going to kill all the trust!!!!!! Treat the person your falling in love with exactly the same was you except to be treated.

I comepletely agree with " if you're going to cheat on someone don't be in the relationship." But if you do cheat, I think you should be completely honest with the person and then hand the reins over to them because now it's their decision if they still want to be with you. But some people truly believe in "What they don't know, wont hurt them" but the fact is that enventually they do know and you are a worse person for not only being a cheater but a liar.

Yes it is very important to tell the truth but then there are times when it is good to lie. Most of the time it is not good to lie just cause you might've done something wrong or you stole something. But then there are times when maybe u might lie to save or help someone or something. But in my opinion I think that it is best not to lie because lieing alot of the time makes things a whole lot worse. When you lie to people sometimes they make take it peronsal or they might not be able to trust you anymore which trust is always something that you want to have.

No -  Lieing is horrible.  It only causes more problems down the road and it creates stupid stories that you need to keep strait.  Better to just be honest and own up to anything that you may do - being trust worthy is very important.  \n\nIt's so good to read all the responses to this question - they say it is not good to lie - it's gives me a tiny glimmer of hope for this world and the future...

If the spouse has done something to make you suspicious, it is okay to snoop. How else are you going to find out if something is going on or not? You certainly won't get a straight answer out of them and if they are trying to hide something, they will try to cover their tracks better because they'll think you're on to them. So when you feel suspicious, you should snoop right away - don't give them the chance to hide any evidence. You will either confirm your suspicions or realize that you were overreacting.

No, and it shouldn't. Honesty and communication are the only way a marriage will last. And those two lead into trust as well. Little white lies, that are non-damaging to the marriage, are natural. But to lie to someone to save feelings or yourself, they can lead to bigger problems and build up, until it explodes and makes the situation worse. Whether you have good intentions or not. Honesty is the best policy. So, I think you answered your own question. :)
