This video is for anyone who says they want a safe partner⌠but is ready to ask, âAm I a safe space too?â
Use this as a self-check, not self-condemnation. Growth > guilt.
1ď¸âŁ Problem: You listen to defend, not to understand
When your partner shares their feelings, you jump in to explain, argue, or fix. They walk away feeling unheard and alone.
⢠Solution: Listen to understand first, not to win.
⢠Action Step: Next time they share something emotional, pause, breathe, and reflect back what you heard before you explain your side.
⢠Scripture: âEveryone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.â â James 1:19
2ď¸âŁ Problem: Their vulnerability isnât fully safe with you
If youâve ever used something they shared in confidence later in an argument, a joke, or as a weapon⌠their heart remembers it. That puts their guard back up.
⢠Solution: Treat what they share as sacred, not strategic.
⢠Action Step: Make a quiet commitment: âWhat you share with me in vulnerability will never be used against you.â
⢠Scripture: âLove⌠keeps no record of wrongs.â â 1 Corinthians 13:5
3ď¸âŁ Problem: You respond harshly when they are most tender
When they finally open up, you might shut down, criticize, minimize, or tell them theyâre âtoo sensitive.â That teaches them: âMy feelings are a burden.â
⢠Solution: Respond with softness when theyâre vulnerable.
⢠Action Step: When your partner shares something hard, lower your tone, soften your face, and lead with reassurance:
âThank you for trusting me with that. I can see this is hard. Iâm here, and I want to understand.â
⢠Scripture: âBe kind and compassionate to one anotherâŚâ â Ephesians 4:32
Healed hearts donât just want safetyâthey become safety.
đĄ Save this as a personal checklist.
