Listen "Building Trust and Safety in Marriage"
Episode Synopsis
How do you build a marriage that feels safe—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—as you prioritise open and honest communication? In this episode, host June sits down with couple therapists and clinical psychologists Jared and Joyce Tan to explore how couples can process their thoughts and feelings and express the deepest parts of themselves to their spouse. They discuss why emotional safety is essential for intimacy and growth, and how self-awareness and attunement help couples navigate differences and strengthen connection. The conversation also highlights how unspoken expectations and family backgrounds can create emotional distance—and how understanding each other’s inner world can build a stronger, more secure bond. Safety in marriage isn’t about avoiding conflict, but about cultivating care, humility, and repair. Whether you're adjusting to new rhythms or working through challenges, this episode offers practical insights to help you create a relationship where both partners feel seen, supported, and safe. --Sign up here to create an account with Focus on the Family Singapore to access a wide range of marriage and parenting resources designed to nurture and strengthen your family relationships.--If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.
