Why Silence Doesn’t Mean Safety in Marriage

9 days ago

Your spouse shuts down. They stop talking. The argument ends—and you think the problem is solved.

But it’s not. It’s just gone underground.

That silence doesn’t mean peace; it means your spouse no longer feels safe to speak. Their fears, frustrations, and emotions haven’t disappeared—they’ve simply been buried. And now, alongside the original issue, you’ve created a new one: a marriage that doesn’t feel emotionally safe enough for honesty.

Real healing doesn’t happen when we avoid conflict—it happens when we create safety to keep communicating through it.

That’s exactly what I teach in Marriage in Bloom, my six-month marriage intensive that helps couples rebuild safety, trust, and connection from the ground up.
