It was the best way they could think of to \u201cdo no harm.\u201d Sure, that meant they were quiet and distant, and things were tense, but it also meant fewer hurtful words were thrown back and forth, which would have done more damage.<\/p>\n<p>So one incredible power you have to make your marriage feel more connected, comfy and relaxed is to create more emotional safety.<\/p>\n<p>One way to do that is to check to see whether you\u2019re being as respectful as you set out to be. Or if you\u2019re like me, you set out to be a respectful wife but really had no idea what that meant and ended up being inadvertently disrespectful by questioning his judgment, arguing with his logic and telling him how to do things he\u2019s perfectly capable of doing without your instructions.<\/p>\n<p>That was not creating emotional safety at my house. Quite the opposite. My husband was veeeeery distant and quiet because he didn\u2019t feel safe. And that was on me.<\/p>\n<p>I thought he was just a distant, unaffectionate kind of guy, but that is no longer the case. Now he wants to interact with me as much as he can, in playful and fun ways, because he feels safe that I\u2019m not going to barrage him with disrespect, which is so hurtful to my big strong man.<\/p>\n<p>I still unfortunately do show up disrespectfully from time to time, like when I\u2019m the passenger in the car for example. But fortunately the overall culture around here is emotionally safe for him, and that means he can be himself\u2014that affectionate, playful guy I fell in love with.<\/p>\n<p>You can improve the emotional safety at your house by <a href=\"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/disrespect-in-marriage\/#2_Learn_the_Magic_Words_to_Restore_Respect\">apologizing for the disrespectful things you\u2019ve said or done<\/a>. It\u2019s not that easy to do the first time. It feels so vulnerable. And it is. It\u2019s also humble and accountable, which are attractive qualities that will draw your distant husband into your orbit again, in my experience.<\/p>\n<div class=\"laura-six-intimacy-skills\" id=\"laura-948614823\"><blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"display: inline; font-size: 23px;\">Related Article:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/six-intimacy-skills\/\">The Number One Most Indispensable Skill for Fixing Your Marriage Fast.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Rediscover_the_Girl_of_Fun_and_Light\"><\/span>2.
