White lies are the keys to success in every marriage or relationship. We all tell white lies on a daily basis. I can not imagine ever always telling the truth. I know that everyone out there listening, especially the guys knows what I'm talking about. Your wife or girlfriend comes home from the hairstylist and asks how her hair looks. Even if you thought that her hair didn't look that great, you would never say it. All guys would say, "it looks great baby." What about the "do I look fat in these jeans" question. What man in his right mind would ever say yes. What man would want to be responsible for telling his wife or girlfriend that she is hitting the wall. These are examples of white lies. The small, vital lies we tell each other because we don't want to rock the boat. In most work situations or when a student asks me how their English is progressing , I like to be a straight shooter. However , when it comes to affairs of the heart, remember that you can always count on a white lie to save the day.
