How Safe Does Your Spouse Feel Emotionally?

In marriages 7 years plus, emotional safety is the foundation that keeps the relationship strong and thriving. It’s about creating a space where both partners feel heard, valued, and respected—no judgment, no fear. Want to know how to build that level of trust and connection? Let’s dive in!


Here are 5 simple and attainable steps to achieve emotional safety in your marriage:


  1. Listen Without Interrupting 

When your spouse is sharing their feelings, really listen—don’t cut them off, don’t plan your next response. Give them the floor and make them feel heard.


  1. Validate Their Feelings  

Even if you don’t agree, it’s important to acknowledge your spouse’s emotions. Let them know their feelings matter by saying things like, “I see why you feel that way.”


  1. Avoid Blame or Criticism 

Emotional safety disappears when blame enters the chat. Instead of pointing fingers, focus on how to solve issues together. Use “I” statements to express your feelings without attacking your partner.


  1. Be Open and Honest  

Share your own emotions and thoughts with transparency. Vulnerability builds trust, and trust builds emotional safety. Be real with your partner about your feelings and encourage them to do the same.


  1. Create a Safe Space for Tough Conversations  

Don’t shy away from difficult topics. Let your spouse know they can come to you with anything—whether it’s about the relationship or life stress—and that you’re there to support them without judgment.


Achieving emotional safety in your marriage isn’t complicated—it’s about creating an environment where both partners can express themselves freely and be met with love and understanding. 💜
