Privacy is just as important as sharing in a marriage. Everyone needs a place - physical, mental, emtional; that they can retreat to and that is a sacred place. I have never said to my husband - this is my journal and I need you to respect me by not looking at it. He understands that by having a place where I can place what are my innermost emotions and fears, I make myself a better partner in the marriage. To me, it's about respect. It's also a spiritual issue. The journals I keep, the meditations I do, help me to connect to my soul and to the greater spirit to whom I speak. Sometimes sharing *everything* with your spouse is not a healthy thing for a relationship.
