#392 Vulnerability and Validation
Dec 29, 2025Vulnerability and validation work together in our relationships to create intimacy and connection. When both people in a partnership are willing to step into both, we can create something magical. When one in the partnership is unwilling or unable to engage in either, it definitely creates a problem, but we can learn to have our own backs when we show up vulnerable and validate our own engagement. When both people are unwilling to step into vulnerability or validation, we have what I like to call a paper marriage, married on paper, but without partnership, without connection and intimacy and a higher sense of purpose in the relationship. If you’re a person or a couple who really wants to create something extraordinary in your marriage, it’s time to up the vulnerability and validation in your relationship.
