Model Answer:
A relationship is one of the most blessed things of the world. It is made of mutual trusts, love, sincerity, respects towards the partner, mutual understanding and some other correlated issues. Relationships are not perfect always rather it needs to be made so. The partner may not be the right one, or the decisions once taken to get the partner may prove wrong. It happens mostly due to the lack of mutual trusts. Truth is definitely a strong pillar to keep any relationship alive.

Truth is the only thing that can make people trustworthy or disloyal to the surroundings, and thus I believe that telling the truth is considered as one of the most important pillars that helps to stand the relationship firmer. Truth has unimaginable power to influence the relationship. It helps to make or break the relation within a few seconds.

For instance, one may have some bitter pasts and s/ he is haunted by the past events. Forgetting the past is not only the solution and many of them cannot do. Therefore, in such situations, if someone is planning to get a new partner, they should make the past clear to the prospective partner. It helps to make the relationship transparent and a mutual respect is created between the partners.

But if the past events are hidden from the partner and s/ he comes to know about the fact somehow (usually such ill tricks are played by third parties to get some fun and ruin the relationship), the impacts are devastating. As a result, you are to lose your own reliability to your partner. If trust broken once, it is impossible regain. Consequently, you are to lose your partner with whom you could have a better future. Moreover, you may also lose respect as a friend or familiar. While money, blind belief, respect and benefits can be some ingredients to sustain a relationship, lies kill any relationship slowly.

Therefore, it is highly imperative to tell the truth about you if you have any and you consider that is important enough for your partner to know. If you are meant to be with your partner, s/ he will not leave you even after knowing the darkest past of yours. So, do not lie to your partner if you want a strong relationship, be it a friend, family member or someone else.
