Vulnerability is the heartbeat of intimacy—but it’s not easy. In this episode of Marriage IQ, Drs. Heidi and Scott Hastings explore how secrecy and the need to appear perfect sabotage connection, while real openness creates space for growth and trust.

From joyful moments to painful transitions, we dive into how vulnerability shows up, how gender shapes our experience of it, and why support and discomfort are both part of the process.

Learn how to:

  • Spot the hidden killers of vulnerability
  • Support your spouse (and yourself) through raw moments
  • Build a marriage where both partners feel safe being real

Because the strongest marriages aren’t perfect—they’re honest.
