Becoming – Men Need a Safe Place; being vulnerable in a relationships

In this episode of Becoming with Angelina Watkins, she continues to cover the Tackle the Text conversation about Pursuit of Happiness in a Relationship. This commentary is taken from a portion of the discussion around men needing a safe place just like women.

Men are able to turn their feelings on and off like a circuit breaker. They can turn them on in places they feel safe such as church, mom, or their friends. But they turn their feelings off at home because the wife makes him feel unsafe to be vulnerable.

Many times wives want their husband’s to be vulnerable with them, but they dismiss how their husband feels. They try to impose on them their feelings and perspectives, disregarding they have thoughts and perspectives as well.

Women have to create a safe place for men and allow them to be themselves and think for themselves. Many times we treat our husband like children instead of a man. Both the husband and the wife have to create a safe place for the other to feel safe enough to open up and be vulnerable with each other.
