Secret Life
Even the happiest, healthiest marriages require a certain amount of work to stay that way, but it is also common to want out. Some research has even said that not arguing is a bigger red flag than fighting. Arguing in a respectful, productive way can be a positive sign because it means both spouses still care. What lies underneath that argument can vary from person to person. From resentments, depression, fear of abandonment and stress. How do you stay in a marriage when you want to run? When your negative voices are stronger than the outside reality? In this week’s episode, Brianne and Sam unpack the very common but rarely talked about—fear of intimacy. _____ If you or anyone you know is struggling with an addiction, depression, trauma, or sexual abuse, we've compiled a list of resources at https://secretlifepodcast.com.
