Reveal your inner feelings from "summary" of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman, Ph.D.

One key principle for making a marriage work is the ability to reveal your inner feelings to your partner. This means being open and honest about your emotions, whether they are positive or negative. By sharing your feelings with your partner, you can deepen your emotional connection and build trust in the relationship. When you reveal your inner feelings, you are allowing your partner to see the real you. This vulnerability can create a sense of intimacy and closeness that is essential for a strong marriage. It is important to express your feelings in a way that is respectful and non-confrontational, so that your partner feels safe and supported in listening to you. By sharing your inner feelings, you can also avoid misunderstandings and conflicts in your relationship. When you communicate openly and honestly, you are less likely to hold onto resentment or build up negative emotions over time. Instead, you can address issues as they arise and work together to find solutions that are mutually beneficial. Revealing your inner feelings is not always easy, especially if you are used to keeping your emotions to yourself. However, by practicing this principle, you can learn to be more authentic and vulnerable with your partner. Over time, you may find that sharing your feelings becomes more natural and comfortable, leading to a deeper level of emotional connection in your marriage.
