Summary: Fear can have a disastrous effect on any relationship, from increased conflict to reduced intimacy and skewed perceptions of how the relationships is doing. These kinds of fears are often coming from one of two places: fears about yourself — that you are unworthy or unlovable or fears about your spouse, and that they won't always be there for you.<br> <br> Both these fears stem from your attachment style — that blueprint of how relationships work that each of us form in childhood that can influence how we see relationships as adults. But our attachment style, and the corresponding fears and anxieties, can be changed and re-written in the context of a loving and supportive marriage.
