I know that the freemason society is brotherhood organization where the men have a lot of secrets (or something like that). As far as I've researched, masons are good people who are about doing good. I want to know, however, whether the women who are in relationships with masons ever find that the society's secrets affect the relationship. If you're a woman in such a situation, can you tell me what kind of things usually come up because your partner is a mason? I'm not looking for bad things only, I want to hear the good as well. Thanks!

I just asked my wife if the secrets of the society affect our relationship - she just laughed and said "No..."
The only things that are secret in Freemasonry are the modes of recognition - handshakes, passwords, gestures. And those are freely available online, or in a number of publications that you can find at your local bookstore.

Tell you what, my lady is a Freemason, so is my lawyer Karen, and we call each other "Brother." We belong to American Co-Masonry which is Freemasonry for women and men. The head of our entire Order, the Most Sovereign Grand Commander, is a woman.
Freemasonry encourages its members to act morally and with care to promote Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. Co-Masons were on the lead for gender and racial equality. We still are.
My daughter, who is not yet a Co-Mason, says that she has seen a change for the better in me. That is something from a 23 year old who is pretty smart and a tad cynical.
If you yourself are interested in an Order that places less emphasis on the social and more on the esoteric, Co-Masonry may be your path. Click on the link below to learn more and feel free to write me if you have a question.

My grandfather was a freemason. He was very secretive about it and to this day (he is 85) never talks about what went on. My grandmother seems to also be very tight lipped about the subject so I can't tell you too much. But as a grandaughter, I feel like I would like to know more about it and wish I could share in his experiences.

yea i have to agree with tyforwhatever they are not really a secret society no more, my uncle joined because his boss was one and he was trying to promote and he figured this would help him out, plus it like a brotherhood thing you can make new friends and have little events that help the community out
