Should Our Partners in Intimate Relationships Share Their Perceptions of Us?

I believe that I have the right, in an intimate relationship, to expect my partner to share his perceptions of me, whether those perceptions are positive or negative. My reasoning is that this self-disclosure is necessary in order to avoid problems based on barriers of perception, as well as to correct problems that are actually true perceptions of negative behaviors.
I think that if two people truly want to be together, they should take every little opportunity to better their relationship. Sharing perceptions is one of those little opportunities. If couples shared their perceptions of each other more often, they may have a better chance of eliminating problem areas by working on an agreeable compromise, or by banishing incorrect thoughts.
Another reason why I believe this is necessary is because being honest with each other is important in an intimate relationship. If a couple can’t share their perceptions of each other, which is related to their feelings for each other, then there are bound to be problems ahead unless all their perceptions are good. And if so, they’ll probably end up disappointed because they expected too much from each other.
