Ep. 13: Mini Series: 7 Keys to Love & Connection in Marriage – Key #6: Learn to be Vulnerable in your Marriage

Welcome back to The Happy Wife Mentor Podcast!

In this episode of our 7 Keys to Love & Connection in Marriage Mini Series, Jenny dives into Key #6: Learn to be Vulnerable in your Marriage.

Vulnerability is scary — it feels risky, uncomfortable, and even dangerous if you’ve been hurt in the past. But it’s also the secret ingredient to intimacy and deep connection in marriage. Jenny opens up about her own struggles with defensiveness, how arguments with her husband led them to marriage counseling, and the breakthrough that came when she began practicing vulnerability instead.

You’ll learn three practical ways to let your guard down, share your true feelings, and invite your husband into a deeper emotional bond with you.

What you’ll learn:

• Why intimacy requires courage and openness
• How defensiveness shuts down connection (and what to do instead)
• The power of saying “Ouch” instead of arguing
• Why letting your tears flow is healthy and healing
• How saying “I can’t” helps prevent resentment and burnout
• The importance of healing past hurts that make vulnerability feel unsafe

If you’ve been feeling distance in your marriage, these shifts may be exactly what you need to turn things around.
