Good communication is, in fact, the practice of more than one of the virtues.

When you say most people are aware of the virtues roles in their lives, it is a bet on their common sense.

However, common sense is less common than expected.

For many reasons people may actually opt for their vices (such as selfishness) rather than charity (going out of their way to help someone in need; or opening up to listening to the other person even if their emotions get on the way).

Abnegation is lacking in general.

What you refer to seems to be one of the outcomes of abnegation.

I meant more that most people are aware of them, even if they choose to not follow them. I've always tried to be good and live well, but I had never come across the details that withholding how I feel when someone does something (good or bad) will keep you more separate from your spouse.

And I knew some don't get hints, but I didn't get the weight of it.

Sharing directly and authentically, anything from small to big, good to bad, is a way of being vulnerable and inviting the other person closer.

It was life changing!

I just keep seeing people getting divorced and it hurts my heart.
