How Trust and Vulnerability Can Save Your Marriage

If trust is the cornerstone of a healthy relationship, how do we get it back when it starts getting eroded? Robert and Sharla are playing with a delicious paradox today: the idea that trust requires us to be vulnerable — and yet being vulnerable requires trust.

Through personal, relatable examples as a couple, plus some Brené Brown insights, this power relationship couple proves that vulnerability is not weakness. Rather, vulnerability is a strength. The myth that vulnerability is weakness is dangerous to any relationship. We need to break that cycle as our relationships depend on it.

There is nuance to our understanding of trust as we create a safe space for our vulnerabilities, and build on trust in everyday encounters (like a trip to Home Depot!) that are actually brief opportunities, or ’sliding door moments’ that prevent the erosion of this important relationship cornerstone.

If you just thought of trust as your partner not cheating on you, or if you are eager to understand what trust through attunement can do to enhance your relationship, you are in for a treat. Please join Robert and Sharla as they get vulnerable themselves in this thought-provoking, change-creating episode!
