Is it better to know or not to know your partner?

By Edelmira Cárdenas

It is not he who knows the most who knows the most,
but he who knows the things that matter most.

Some I know will be quick to say things like: "of course it's better to know your partner completely"; "couples who don't know each other are destined for ruin"; "knowledge is power". Well, I have to say that in some way these phrases contain some truth in them, but for the purposes of this article I would like to address those who pretend to believe and know everything about their partner because we have to say that the desire to know is good, while the inadequate thing is to think that there is no more to know about the other.

The funny thing for those people who get the idea that there is nothing more to discover about their partner, which is totally false, is that since (according to them) no truth is revealed to them as a novelty, they run the great danger of falling into a routine, and where they think there is nothing more to wait for, they imagine that there is nothing more to love and much less to excite.
