Proverbs 27:5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
Hers we can see that open rebuke could mean constructive criticism which is something probably all us has needed at some time in our lives. If we really love someone we try to help them to overcome problems in their lives . Secret love is a problem because it can prevent someone from correcting the the person they love. Also when it is secret just between you and the one you love, then is it really love. This could be just taking someone for granted and somewhere down the road someone is going to end up alone. We should always be appreciative of people who love us enough to correct us when we are going in the wrong direction.Also we should be bold enough with those we love to correct them when they need it.
