Is Honest Always Best For Relationships?: Matt Townsend Show BYU Radio Interview
I stopped by BYU Radio Monday afternoon to chat with my friend Matt Townsend on the topic of honesty in relationships. Matt just launched a daily talk show that also airs on Sirius XM 143! Is honesty always the best policy in relationships? The short answer -- no. There are other values that often compete with telling the truth - like sensitivity, compassion, and helpfulness. Often, when a loved one asks a question, they are really asking for some kind of emotional validation. I shared with Matt that I prefer the word "authenticity" to "honesty" in relationships.
