Nate Parker Quotes

Well, it's really important to be honest with the person that you're seeing.

When you can have a relationship that's like that to where everything is out in the open, you are up front, and there is open communication, it makes for a great relationship.

The topic of trust is an important factor in all matters of the heart - and here's why. Men lie to women. Women lie to men. And most people agree that some lying is even necessary - to avoid petty squabbles and to grease the wheels of a relationship.

Things aren't always clear at the beginning of a relationship. Be up-front. Don't play on her confusion or vulnerability. Women want and appreciate clarity.

There is an interaction and action, reaction between two people. One should show honesty in a relationship. Be honest to your partner and tell him everything. How long can you do things with dishonesty and that's wrong. Don't get into a relationship if you can't be honest.

I've found that if I say what I'm really thinking and feeling, people are more likely to say what they really think and feel. The conversation becomes a real conversation.

Communication is so much better when people are vulnerable.

Honesty and loyalty are key. If two people can be honest with each other about everything, that's probably the biggest key to success.

Even if you know that what you'll say will hurt a woman's feelings, I've learned that it's better to be truthful with her than it is to cover up. Ultimate honesty is what a relationship is really about.

Speech was made to open man to man, and not to hide him.

Trust comes from transparency…

We can all go up to each other and be honest with each other. That's the biggest thing, when you can go out and speak to your brother.

Don't lie to your partner. Ultimately the expression on your face gives you away, and they feel betrayed by the lie. If this is the person you're going to be with - forever and ever, for better or worse - they will love you for all of your good and all of your bad. They'll love you for you. So open communication is key. I have no secrets and no skeletons in my closet with my husband, and I love that. I feel comfortable and at ease with myself when I'm around him. I love the woman that I've become with him.

Keeping secrets will always lead to unhappiness and communication is the key to love.

Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.

The next time you're mad at me, talk to me,' he said. 'Don't shut me out. I don't like playing games. And by the way, I had a great time, too.

Not everyone wants to know everything their partner did. Maybe it's enough to say, "Things aren't going well in our marriage. I've made mistakes. I don't think you've been a good partner to me. How do we go forward together?" I think there's a different answer for every couple. But I think intimacy is asking that question.

There is a difference between vulnerability and telling people everything about yourself. Vulnerability is a feeling. Telling everyone about yourself is just facts and details.

Because that's what intimacy is: It's a willingness to be vulnerable, a willingness to bite my tongue and a willingness to set an example of what I believe in.

I feel like my honesty gives people the freedom to talk about things they wouldn't otherwise.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

I like, though, that people have a hunger to connect with other people. They're desperate to know that you're not lying to them or misleading them.

The key to high-quality communication is trust, and it's hard to trust somebody that you don't know.

I find that when you open the door toward openness and transparency, a lot of people will follow you through.

It's important to build trust if you're trying to deal with big things. Big issues require everybody to get outside their comfort zone, and people are more willing to do so if they believe that their partner is sincere in their efforts. And the only way you can do that is to engage them on a personal level.
