a. lies can sustain a successful relationship
b. women must lie to secure man's love
c. most people prefer lies to the truth
d. it is acceptable to lie about ones age.

The sonnet deals with the concept of lying as a way to enalt beauty and happiness in marriage or a relationship despite the lack of truth.
