Many couples wonder how much information they should share with their spouse—does everything have to be out in the open or are some things best kept private? Rabbi Shmuley talks about privacy in marriage and what information should and should not be shared with your spouse.
If you feel like your spouse is hiding something, Rabbi Shmuley says that you should talk to them about it, rather than snooping. "It can be incredibly destructive to a relationship," he says. "Snooping undermines trust and makes a husband and wife feel like they are strangers to each other." If your lack of trust develops, Rabbi Shmuley suggests getting guidance from a professional.
Instead of snooping, couples should create an environment where there are no big secrets in the first place, Rabbi Shmuley says. He shares his advice on what should and should not stay private.

What should not be private:

• Your e-mail accounts. If your spouse wants the password to your e-mail account, she should be able to have it, and vice versa. "E-mail is a very intimate form of communication—it's the equivalent of having your own P.O. box," Rabbi Shmuley says. "Giving your spouse the password is the same as giving them an extra key. It shows you have absolutely nothing to hide." In addition, you should never have a secret e-mail account, he says.
• Your cell phone information. "Your spouse should not want to check your phone logs or text messages, and he should never do it secretly," Rabbi Shmuley says. Think about it like a house phone—calls are common knowledge to everyone in the house.
• Your daily activities. Spouses should be open about where they went during the day, Rabbi Shmuley says. This is especially important when business travel is frequent in a relationship. "It can help a couple stay intimately connected, even if they're hundreds of miles away from each other," he says.
• Your money. Rabbi Shmuley says both spouses should be totally open about what they have and what they spend. "Secret bank accounts are a big no-no," he says.

• 

What should be private:
 

• Your romantic past. "You can share what you want, but try to think about what the intention is when you share it," Rabbi Shmuley says.
• Your thoughts. You're not obligated to share everything you think, especially if it could be hurtful to your spouse, Rabbi Shmuley says.
• Your faith and political views. "Many people from different religions and political stances marry, but that doesn't mean that you need to adopt the other person's views as your own," Rabbi Shmuley says. "Two people of different religions or political parties can happy co-exist under one roof."

1. Know when to back off. Many a wayward girlfriend assumes her affectionate attention is welcome by her man until he asks for a little space. The problem with this theory is that when a man is forced to fight for his alone time, he can become jealously defensive of it and resent his girlfriend. Guys like to know their girls have lives of their own, so schedule time for yourself, away from him, with your girlfriends, etc.
   
   
   
2. On that note, be sure to remain your own person. It is vital in every relationship to not define yourself in terms of your significant other. Get a few hobbies. Better yet, join a club. Once again, girls with lives are almost always more attractive than those whose lives consist only of time with their boyfriends.
   
   
   
3.  
    
   Convey yourself to your man. Instead of holding in your emotions and thoughts about your man's actions and words, just tell him calmly and not aggressively. He'll appreciate this MUCH more than he would if you kept your thoughts to yourself and used them against him later. Contrary to popular belief, men are not mind readers--so tell them what's going on! Punch him in the arm if it comes to that. This sort of release will make you seem far less unpredictable and moody.
   
   
   
4.  
   Don't assume that doing nice things for your man, even things that are traditionally viewed as subservient, will make him view you as any less independent. This is a big one, and it is especially effective if life is starting to take its toll. The simple act of doing him a favor or two does not make you a subservient woman--but rather a caring one. If he's had a stressful week at work or a rough string of midterms, wait until he has some free time and make it nice with his favorite meal (served casually; formal dinners require effort on his part and can be a burden). If he's feeling a little down, bring him a serving of his favorite sugary snack food. If he comes home and looks absolutely ravaged, collapses on the futon and exhales deeply as though the weight of the world is on his shoulders, bring him a beer and let him tell you what's wrong. General kindness, without the requirement of reciprocation, will work wonders on a man's mood and allow him to associate the resulting happiness with none other than the caring woman who made it all possible. Most importantly, keep your good deeds varying and changing so they do not become confused for actual submission. You're doing him a favor, after all.
   
   

   

   
   

   5 .Don't lie to your guy about where you are going, or what you are thinking of. If he asks you, he wants to know--so tell him. Use discretion (don't tell him you were thinking about that one thing your ex used to do in bed), but if you just brush it off with a light "nothing" or say something that's obviously a lie, you'll only drive him crazy, and not the good kind of crazy

   6.  Finally, don't think about withholding sex. You should to surprise you man and keep things "alive" in the bedroom...keeping the chemistry alive will definitely keep your man happy!
