The Fear Dance in Marriage (Part 2)

Breaking the fear dance in marriage requires intentional tools and strategies. We start by naming our patterns because we can’t move forward until we recognize our fear-based behaviors. Adam and Eve modeled this fear dance when they tried to hide after sinning, and many of us still cover vulnerabilities by hiding behind false identities. Instead of attacking each other, we must call out the cycle itself, since the cycle is the essence of the fear dance. Using a safe word or phrase helps us pause when conversations go wrong and reminds us to show the best version of ourselves. Prayer, both individually and together, strengthens awareness of triggers and fosters unity beyond mere ritual. Love must be the foundation for every change we make, or fear will continue to dominate our relationships
