But in reality, vulnerability, when practiced with intention and strength, is the key to connection, leadership, and emotional freedom in marriage.In this episode of the Rich in Relationship Podcast, we unpack what vulnerability actually is (and what it's not). You'll hear listener-inspired questions like, “How do I open up without losing control?” and “Isn't being vulnerable just asking to be hurt?”—and you'll get real tools to answer those questions with clarity and confidence.You'll also learn how to set emotional boundaries, share from grounded awareness, and step into a more powerful, present form of manhood that invites your partner to trust and open up too.If this conversation hits home, we're gathering honest voices for a new book on masculinity and marriage.
