Fearing Intimacy in Dating, Engagement, and Marriage: Important Factors to Consider and Discuss

Sam Season 2 Episode 33

Send Me Questions on Attachment

Fear.

It was the first emotion experienced after Adam and Eve sinned against God, and it is also the strongest emotion we experience in everyday life, though at different levels. Consequently, it has also significantly impacted how we understand ourselves in relationships.

Fear stems from shame as we see in Genesis 3. And the fear that Adam and Eve experienced is that of being FULLY KNOWN which is one of the prominent fears in relationships.

For those who are dating, engaged, or married, this is an episode you’ll want to tune in to.

Drs. Elias and Denise Moitinho and I discuss:
 - fears in experiencing intimacy with others,
 - fears of commitment and what that means for a relationship,
 - fears of trusting others after being hurt, and lastly,
 - some practical steps you can take to face those fears.
 
 If you are currently dating, engaged, or married, this is an episode you’ll want to tune in to. :)
