Episode #928
Have you ever wondered why the spark in your marriage seems to fade over time? Itâs not just about physical intimacy. For most women, intimacy begins with trust and emotional safety. Without it, she wonât feel fully connectedâand that lack of connection shows up in the bedroom.
In this revisit, we dive into the core issue that many men overlook. Emotional safety isnât about physical protection; itâs about showing up consistently as a grounded, stable presence. Itâs about your wife knowing she can trust youânot just with her physical safety but with her emotions and her heart.
Weâll talk about how erratic behavior, even unintentionally, can erode trust and push her away. Iâll break down how to avoid falling into reactive patterns and what it means to shift from DEER Mode (defend, excuse, explain, react) to WOLF Mode (wise, open, loving, fierce).
This episode also covers three steps you can take right now to rebuild trust and emotional safety in your marriage. And yes, these steps can lead to deeper connectionâand the passionate intimacy youâve been craving.
This conversation is just as important today as it was when we first aired it. If your marriage feels stuck, this episode is your chance to make real change.
And remember: In the moment of insight, take massive action.
