Revealing our deepest fears, truths and insecurities to someone we love is universally thought to be relationship suicide.
For us to do so is widely viewed as a sign of weakness, especially by the male population. The women I’ve discussed this with seem reluctant to, as well, preferring instead to share their deepest self with a female friend, or two.
In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. We have to trust in the love and dare to be vulnerable, something that doesn’t come naturally to most of us.
If love is real, you know it’s real. There is no guesswork, no wondering involved. When it’s the real thing, (love), there's a warm and knowing feeling of being "home" when you’re in your partner’s arms. You can feel the vibrational energy between you flowing in and out and through you both.
To learn a partner’s greatest fears, truths and insecurities brings a new understanding for both of you. Along with that, comes feeling a deep need to protect them, and as a result, a deeper, richer love and trust.
Remember, your partner is accessing those deeper parts of himself, parts he may not be proud of and by sharing them, he’s trusting you with their revelation. It’s extremely personal to him. He is trusting that your love is great enough to accept him as he really is, without judgement and ridicule, while he is at his most vulnerable.
When it's your turn, you will learn by the same open sharing to discover what real love, trust and acceptance mean. Through the experience, you’ll also begin to know yourself for who you truly are. It's humbling, it’s emotional, and it’s rewarding. It brings a whole new awareness of yours, and your partner's, true nature and purpose.
A love relationship needs vulnerability to grow a deeper trust and a mutual feeling of acceptance.
