When you finally open up and say the vulnerable thing that needed to be said and shared, what next? Often, your spouse gets defensive, shuts down, or fires back, and now you're less likely to ever share again. This is one of the most common and heartbreaking cycles in marriage: vulnerability that backfires actually creates MORE hiding, not less. In this episode of the Summer of Intimacy series, Christa introduces the concept of emotional processing containers - structures that protect vulnerability so that sharing actually leads to connection instead of more hurt, so you can create a marriage where both of you feel safe enough to keep showing up and delighting in your live and shared light. For every Enneagram type, in every season of marriage, this episode will give you practical tools to make vulnerability work, even after a hard start. Listen here to this hope-filled message!

Stay tuned for our Summer Intensives, Awakening Intimacy (track 1) and Awakening Adventure (track 2) beginning the week of July 13!
