Open communication and honesty are important to any romantic partnership. That sounds overly simple and obvious, but sometimes it's hard to tell a person how you feel, especially when it's inconvenient. Now lies? Lies are the stitches that hold the Frankenstein of a relationship together. So like, that will work too. If you want a relationship that is so misshapen and unnatural that it staggers around while getting chased by pitchfork-wielding bumpkins, you can lie to your spouse for as long as you want. It'll be a cursed façade of the real thing, much like Frankenstein's monster, but it will "work."
At the same time, being completely brutally honest with people all the time can be tedious, boring, and at times mean. People like surprises, and a certain amount of careful dishonesty can be important if you want to make something exciting for someone. The right amount of lying lets people live their fantasy, which is sort of what you want for your loved ones.
And sometimes when it comes to not knowing things, people are simply willfully ignorant. Even when it comes to junk like "I didn't know that the thermostat costs money." That's frustrating.
If you're prepared to lie to your partner about something trivial, make sure it never gets found out, like this guy who lied to his wife about gummy flavors for 13 years until she found out.
