Vulnerability is a precious thing and necessary for a beautiful relationship. In a day and age where vulnerability may be viewed as being “weak”, it is important to learn the value of being vulnerable in your relationship.
Vulnerability means letting your guard down and letting your spouse into the depths of who you are. It means giving them complete access to your heart, even if you fear getting hurt.
Listen to this quote by Joyce Brothers: “Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.”
Open your heart and let your spouse in. As you do, your level of intimacy will increase and your marriage will bear greater fruit and bear greater witness to God’s love.
