Yes, marriage is about honesty, trust, and teamwork. But sometimes, a few little “white lies” sneak their way into the mix. These are some things wives might say to keep the peace or just because they might not want to deal with the drama. Let’s look at ten such “lies” that seem to come up in almost every marriage.
“I’m fine.”

Sometimes, it’s just easier to say “I’m fine” when you’re not, rather than explain everything that’s not right. Maybe you’re trying to adjust, but it doesn’t feel like discussing the scene at the moment. A simple “I’m fine” keeps things peaceful for now.
“I Wasn’t Looking At My Phone.”

You were scrolling through your feed. However, it’s not worth getting into. Occasionally, it’s better to say you weren’t on your phone rather than explain why you needed that five-minute break to check in with friends or respond to a message.
“I Didn’t Buy Anything Month.”

That small purchase you sneaked in online wasn’t something you wanted to bring up. That’s a harmless, quick fix, especially when you’ve already promised you’re “cutting back” on shopping. You just thought that you don’t need to make it look like a huge buy when it’s not.
“I’m Not Tired.”

You’re absolutely exhausted, but you don’t want to spoil the mood or stop what you’re doing. When wives say they are not tired, that’s usually to avoid an awkward moment and enjoy the evening without explaining that they are in dire need of some sleep.
“I’ll Be Ready In Five Minutes.”

This one is a classic, and let’s be real: it’s never really five minutes. Women know when they might need a little more time. When the time comes, it’s easier to say five and sneak in those extra few minutes of getting ready without rushing or feeling pressured.
“I Don’t Care Where We Eat.”

You might care about it sometimes, but you don’t want to deal with the usual back-and-forth. At that time, wives may think it’s better to say, “I don’t care,” and let the husband make the decision. Mostly when they’re indecisive or secretly hoping he’ll choose a good place.
“This Movie Looks Great!”

The movie might not be your top pick, so you say it looks great to avoid an argument. Why? Perhaps it’s to let him enjoy his choice, even if it’s not your ideal way to spend the evening. The goal is to keep the peace and embrace whatever excitement comes next.
“I’ll Do It Later.”

Have laundry, dishes, or a chore you’ve been putting off? Saying “later” actually buys you some time. Wives may think they will eventually tackle it. That’s why “later” is a way to keep the moment light and avoid having to deal with it immediately when you’re not feeling it.
“I Love The Gift You Got Me!”

Their gift wasn’t exactly what you had in mind, but you solely appreciate the thought behind it. So, you smile and say, “I love it,” because you know the sentiment matters more than the actual present. Plus, the appreciation sidesteps hurting his feelings.
“I’m Not Mad.”

You’re angry, but telling him you’re not mad helps keep things from escalating. You might need a little space to cool off before talking about the issue at hand, and this lie just keeps the peace until you’re ready to dive into a more honest or serious conversation.
