Introduction We find ourselves in relationships and in most cases within marriage where we have lost affect communication with who we are romantically engaged with all together.

Self-disclosure is the main ingredient to successful relationships and allowing partners to know who they have and not just what differences they have. Facing what researchers have found self-disclosure and what it looks like, the importance of it and how it’s related to approval in relationships, gender differences and similarities, and where the writer fits into the generalizations regarding gender will determine that sharing personal feelings with others can build and maintain healthy relationships and marriage regardless of differences in gender.

The reader is first introduced to him when he comes home with an invitation to a grand social event and anticipates that this will please his wife. He continues this pattern when he acquiesces to her demand for a party dress that they cannot afford.
