Overcoming Fear in Marriage

Introduction: Welcome to this week’s episode of our podcast, where we explore the topic of fear and how it affects marriages. Fear in marriage is a natural reaction to the unknown, but it can also be debilitating and prevent us from fully experiencing intimacy in marriage. Today we’ll discuss how fear can be the root of all intimacy problems in marriage and how to overcome it.

Segment 1: Fear is Not All Bad

It can be a warning sign that something is wrong, and it can motivate us to take action. However, fear can also immobilize us and prevent us from taking risks or trying new things in our marriage. We need to learn to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy fear and understand how to respond appropriately.

Segment 2: Courage

One of the best definitions I’ve heard for courage is choosing to act in spite of fear. Courage isn’t the absence of fear. If you never feel fear, there is no need for courage, actually. We need to learn to face our fears and push through them. It takes courage to be vulnerable in a relationship, to risk being hurt, and to trust our spouse.

Segment 3: Different Fears in Marriage

There are different fears in relationships, including the fear of being hurt, the fear of rejection, the fear of being made a fool of, the fear of your spouse cheating on you, the fear of losing yourself in your marriage, the fear of losing control, and the fear of being fully known, amongst others. These fears will lead to intimacy problems in marriage if not addressed.

Segment 4: How to Get Rid of Fear

To overcome fear, we need to acknowledge that it’s there and not hide or deny it. We can ask ourselves, “What’s the worst that can happen?” Then, prepare for the worst-case scenario. We can also “trust in the Lord” (Proverbs 3:5-6) and renew our minds with His word, worship, and our words.

In conclusion, rear can be the root of all intimacy problems in marriage. But by acknowledging our fears, facing them with courage, and trusting in the Lord, we can overcome them and experience deeper intimacy in our relationships. As Psalm 34:4-5 says, “I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.”
