Get Naked

It was some of the best advice I’ve ever received—advice that didn’t come from a book or a marriage counselor, but from a conversation over dinner with close friends. The kind of advice that sticks with you long after the meal ends and the laughter fades.

So here it goes: get naked. Not literally, necessarily, though that might help too. No, this was more about vulnerability. About being willing to strip away the layers of pretense and show your true self. It's about taking off the mask we often wear in public, the one that says, "Everything is fine," when everything inside feels chaotic.

For us, it wasn’t just about arguments. It was about opening up during tough times, sharing fears, dreams, and even insecurities without fear of judgment. It’s about creating a space where both partners feel safe enough to say, "Hey, I’m scared," or "I don’t know what I’m doing," and knowing they won’t be dismissed or ridiculed for it.

It sounds simple, but trust me—it’s not. There were moments when I wanted to retreat into silence, to protect myself from potential rejection. But every time I chose instead to take a deep breath and speak my truth, it brought us closer together. And honestly, it made me laugh sometimes too. Because let’s face it, vulnerability can feel absurd, especially when you’re used to keeping things buttoned up tight.

Now, here’s the kicker: this kind of honesty requires effort. It takes practice. And it demands patience. You have to cultivate habits that foster communication. Things like leaving handwritten notes for each other, remembering to set aside time for date nights without kids interrupting, or even washing each other’s laundry without grumbling about it (okay, maybe that last one is wishful thinking).

But here’s the beautiful part: when you do these things, when you commit to showing up as your authentic self, something magical happens. You stop being two individuals navigating life side by side and start becoming one team. One family. One soul intertwined with another.

So, here’s my challenge for you this week: try it. Whether it’s opening up about something you’ve been holding onto, scheduling a date night sans kiddos, or simply smiling more often at your partner, make an effort to connect on a deeper level. After all, relationships aren’t built on perfection—they’re built on honesty and effort.

Happy National Marriage Week, everyone! Let’s celebrate the beauty of real connection.
