Why Silence Doesn’t Mean Safety in Marriage

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.
