Transparency is a one way to have a strong relationship in your family, parents, pastors, friends and other people that close to you. It can also help the situations what you are right now. For being transparent to open your situations or your problems to others. I am not kind of a person to talk to others my personal situations or even my problems. But I practicing it to being transparent to my mentor and to my parents. By doing that I even know them and our relationship is became strong. I can easily approach them and ask for a favor. Are you being transparent? How's your transparency affect your relationships to your family, friends and other people surrounds you?

I think to be transparent to our family is fine but not to outsiders. This is to prevent someone who are evil to harm you. I think to share and let all your family know about what you did and what is your problems is okay. At least when anything happen to you, they will know what happen and they will be able to help you immediately. Of course I agree that this will definitely strengthen the relationship.

It is good to be transparent! But I think it won't always mean that it keeps the relation healthy. The situation can't always demand the transparency. Being in the joint-family for such a long time I have learned that there are some harms as well. It actually depends upon the situation and the individual, here comes the maturity part. Being in relation and understanding the relation both are two different notion. There are times when opening up or becoming transparent will create frictions within the relation. The humans are complicated creatures and it is hard to gauge the tendency of the heart. Its pendulum is never constant and can swing either way.

I don't think being transparent will make a relationship strong. Many people preferred to keep their own personal privacy. And we should respect that.
