*** Article: The Truth About Lies - By Rob White ***
------------------------------------------------------------ Lying never really works, even good lies have a bad side. The reason lying never really works is because even the compassionate liar (the person who lies to make someone feel better), is feeling superior. He thinks he knows what's best for you. At some level, he thinks he's special -- the wise one. It becomes an ego trip to some greater or lesser degree.
People love telling lies when it makes them feel special. And it makes them feel special when the lies make them look like they have information that no one else has. The lie is always the liars own creation ... and he can decorate it in ways that make him look smart. Again, an ego trip.

*** Article: How Much Do You Get Your Partner? - By Emma K. Viglucci ***
------------------------------------------------------------ The majority of the couples that want to improve their relationship identify that communication is an issue for them. They share how they can't see eye-to-eye, convey their feelings and perspective, or understand each other. They report they end up fighting every time they try to address something not being able to resolve disagreements or being delayed in making decisions because they can't get on the same page with their partner.
The lack of communication means struggling day in and day out in their relationship. Some partners choose to go it alone when making decisions or addressing needs to avoid disagreements and disappointment. Partners that avoid conflict end up having a very distant and lonely relationship. On the other hand, partners that are not avoidant are at risk of escalating disagreements that threaten their emotional, and even their physical, safety or the relationship itself. Either way, this lack of skill is detrimental to their well-being, their relationship and their quality of life.
