I think "openness" has two parts: first, honesty, and second, to trust the other person with everything and anything. These two things cause a renewal in the relationship/friendship, to let both people know that the feelings and convictions previously felt are still true. Giving the other person some of your time and attention implies you still care about him/her even if you can't give the other person all of your time, which would be unreasonable anyway. Of course, this doesn't mean you have to make calls routinely daily, but just a simple thing to let the other person know your feelings and convictions haven't changed.
Ideally, a couple should be open with everything and able to speak of anything and everything. This does not mean that each person needs to be constantly talking to each other, but because openness is good for building trust, it will help you become more comfortable with the other person. Especially important topics should be open to the other person, so as not to let them be deceived.

This topic has somewhat expired, but I'm gonna throw in my 2 cents anyway.
I think that if there is something you feel you need to hide from your spouse/bf/gf, then there is a problem with trust. You should be able to trust them with anything you're going through and they should be able to trust you. I don't think that you should have to tell them every single thing that goes on in your day, some privacy can be a good thing, but the doors of communication should ALWAYS be open.
