    Couples Connection Series Episode 2: The Myth of Emotional Safety

    Send us a text Emotional safety is one of the most talked-about ideas in modern relationships. We’re often told that if you don’t feel emotionally safe, the relationship can’t grow. But what if the way we’re using that concept is actually keeping couples stuck? In this episode, Bucky Bateman challenges the popular belief that emotional safety must come before honesty, vulnerability, and connection. He explores where this idea came from, why no relationship is ever completely risk-free, and how waiting for perfect safety can quietly block the very behaviors that build trust. You’ll learn why discomfort is an unavoidable part of growth, how real intimacy is forged through rupture and repair, and what emotional resilience looks like in long-term relationships. Rather than aiming for a permanent state of “feeling safe,” this conversation reframes emotional safety as a byproduct of courage, responsibility, empathy, and forgiveness. Bucky closes with a simple, practical invitation: take one small emotional risk this week just one honest share and notice what it begins to create between you. Part of the Couples Connection Series helping you bridge the gaps that life and stress can create.
