“I have trust issues because people have lying issues!” How often have you said/thought this or heard someone else say it? Honesty is a key cornerstone of a healthy relationship. Perceived infidelity or deception can cause immense frustration in a relationship which can then lead to bigger issues.
Polygraph tests, popularly known as “lie detector tests” are being used more and more by couples for two reasons:
1) To prove that they aren’t cheating.
2) To ‘clear the air’ about other issues such as finances or addictions.
A polygraph test helps couples to detect the main issues in their partnership and seek professional counselling services. It is better to solve things early before it snowballs into something bigger.

Notably, a lie detector test isn’t 100% accurate. It records physiological responses to questions. The physiological responses measured are perspiration, breathing rate and blood pressure. This can be affected by stress or anxiety about the test. Unfortunately, tv shows portray lie detectors as being very accurate. Therefore, results are viewed as “fact”.
Taking the above into account, a lie detector test can have the opposite effect. A false positive could result in a partner being wrongly accused. Moreover, interpretation of the results is down to the polygraphist. Human error can affect the results.
Adulting
Th use of a polygraph test in a relationship also highlights a key relationship issue: trust. It means that there is no trust that the other is telling the truth. It is unsustainable for one partner to expect the other to have a polygraph test whenever they want to hear the truth. A relationship without trust is just two people who tolerate each other. It would make logical sense for a polygraph test to be followed by a counselling session in order to resolve any cracks in the relationship.
There are some scenarios which warrant the use of a polygraph test.
Sex addiction
Social Media Marketing Made Simple
Your partner is a sex addict and you suspect that he or she is cheating on you. Due to the internet, sex addiction can be satisfied through watching pornography, using live cam sites or hiring an escort. If your partner is addicted to pornography, it is likely that they won’t have the urgency to satisfy you sexually. Moreover, porn addicts are also likely to cheat. This is because they might want to re-enact some of the scenes they watch or experience something different.

The many forms of sex addiction can be cured. However, it is important for the addict to realise that they have a problem. A polygraph test can help with this because the questioning causes them to think deeper about their addiction.

Final thoughts

A polygraph test isn’t 100% accurate but it is as close as you will get to know your partner’s thought process and what they do when you aren’t around. Couples in loving relationships should willingly open up to each other. Sometimes we hide things from our partners because we think that they either won’t care or will judge us. Keep the communication lines open.
