Are you emotionally Safe in Your Marriage?

An emotionally safe marriage is one that allows you the freedom to be who you really are. You can trust that your spouse will love you no matter what. You feel unconditional acceptance. You feel safe to share the most valuable part of you—your heart. In an emotionally safe relationship, you are confident your spouse will not crush your hopes, dreams, or deepest desires. And you feel confident that what you share will remain private.

If you do not feel emotionally safe in your marriage, you may be experiencing deep pain and turmoil in your heart. You (and your spouse) may feel

  • Judged
  • Disrespected
  • Misunderstood or rejected
  • Alone
  • Mistrusted or mistrusting
  • Insecure
  • Uncomfortable
  • Emotionally shut down

Emotional walls often feel like physical barriers that cut off feelings of happiness and security. Learn to recognize the above warning signs and heal the wounds caused by an emotionally unsafe marriage.
