The Impossible Life

217. Don't Be Vulnerable With Your Wife - Mindset Level Up


Listen Later

In this bold and counter-cultural episode of The Impossible Life, Nick and Garrett dive into a hot-button belief that challenges modern thinking about marriage, masculinity, and leadership:

"Don’t be vulnerable with your wife—be transparent."

It’s a concept that might offend, but it’s built on biblical truth, emotional discipline, and hard-won wisdom. Garrett breaks down why vulnerability—defined as making yourself susceptible to emotional wounding—is not your wife’s burden to carry. Instead, God has called men to strength, spiritual leadership, and emotional maturity that protects, not projects.

🔥 In This Episode:
  • The crucial difference between vulnerability and transparency
  • Why your wife isn’t meant to carry your emotional pain—and who is
  • How emotional dumping can weaken your leadership and your marriage
  • Why modern therapy culture has confused roles in marriage
  • Biblical examples of godly men who were vulnerable with God, not with their wives
  • The epidemic of fatherlessness and emotional outsourcing
  • How to process pain without quitting your post as a man, husband, and father
