Are You Open To Your Husband? Even At The Risk of Being Vulnerable?

Fear of rejection makes people refuse to bare their souls to their partners. We are afraid of looking ridiculous, and so hold back from talking freely about our emotions, what makes us happy, what makes us cry, what makes us angry, what makes us fearful. But for real intimacy to grow, you should be willing to share all of you, your physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual side, and to risk letting your mate see the real you. How open are you?

For the best relationship you should be open about everything. I can understand if it is a new relationship. But I believe by the time you are married or thinking of getting married there shouldn't be anything being kept from each other. Neither of you should care if you make a fool in front of the other. You love each other, if anything you'll both have a laugh about it which will bring you closer.

Oh, honestly, I am not married yet nor do I have a boyfriend. So your question doesn't bother me at all. But, I believe trust is the key to go along with other people. Thanks, that is my opinion.

i am very open to my husband. in fact, he is my best friend. and indeed in order for intimacy to grow, open up! the relationship has to be nourished with being true to one's self and being able to share or reach out to your partner.
