View Profile History	*** PRIVATE! Keep out! *** Posted : 18 Dec, 2010 02:43 AM No way! I might share old journals with him, like from high school or college, but nothing current. I would probably tell him about most of the stuff I write anyways. Is it necessary to share every single detail or though with a spouse? Post Reply
View Profile History	*** PRIVATE! Keep out! *** Posted : 18 Dec, 2010 04:48 AM I don't think I would want to read it, as a boyfriend. Maybe if we ever get married and she has a hard time expressing herself to me (I tend to do a lot better in writing than in person). But like Katie said, I�d rather just talk about it. Post Reply
View Profile History	*** PRIVATE! Keep out! *** Posted : 18 Dec, 2010 06:06 AM I don't keep a journal, but I'd imagine that , if he were my husband, most of the stuff I'd write I would already be telling him. Wouldn't that seem a little suspicious if I wouldn't let him see what's in it? If my husband kept a journal, I would need a little reassuring about some things if he didn't let me see a log of whatever he was writing. I mean - what kind of stuff are we talking about keeping from our husbands? Post Reply

A lot of them are sermon messages and my personal responses. Others are daily thoughts and prayers. As for current journals, I'd still say yes, with some trepidation. Post Reply
riveroflife1 View Profile History	*** PRIVATE! Keep out! *** Posted : 18 Dec, 2010 07:27 AM I dont think I would. I have been keeping journals for years, most of the content is dreams and various breakthroughs. My inner most thoughts are in there and I dont think I'm comfortable YET with sharing those. I think my fear is being judged. He should honor the privacy and not ask to read them. Post Reply
View Profile History	*** PRIVATE! Keep out! *** Posted : 18 Dec, 2010 07:37 AM If it were a boy- friend--- No. But if he were my husband, I'd have no problem with him reading any thing I had written. He should already know all and any of my weaknesses and strengths--- so I don't see any reason to keep it to myself. Deborah Post Reply
bcpianogal View Profile History	*** PRIVATE! Keep out! *** Posted : 18 Dec, 2010 08:35 AM If he was just a boyfriend, no. I would not let him read my private journals/diaries/etc. There would probably be a lot of personal stuff in there about HIM, that I might not want him to read just yet. If we got married, I might just let him go back and read all the stuff I wrote about him before we were married, since he'd probably enjoy knowing my thoughts at that time. Other than a "spiritual journey" journal, I don't keep another diary. Everything that I have to write about goes into that journal, as that helps me to keep a Christ-centered perspective on things. A lot of the things I write about are extremely personal. I feel sure that I would share those things with my husband, but I would feel strange about letting him freely read my journal. There should also be some trust in a relationship, so I would feel the same about any spiritual journey journal that he might keep...if he wanted to share it with me, I'd gladly listen/read, but if he wanted to keep it more private, that would be ok too. That said, the problem with having separate private journals comes when trust is violated, or when a couple stops talking freely with one another. Post Reply

It is the same kind of exceptional person who knows it is best that you don't, unless there is miscommunication that needs to be worked through. Post Reply
