Alysha Jeney explores why many couples struggle with feeling secure in their relationships, regardless of how long they’ve been together.

Quotes to ponder:

"We may never really feel secure in our 'committed' relationship if we can’t feel secure in exposing ourselves… flaws and all, and be accepting of them."

"It is essential to have two people who are willing to be vulnerable and self aware."

"Finding security and acceptance in ourselves is the ultimate level of security and this will only hold the necessary safe space for a mutually committed and fulfilling relationship to develop, grow and sustain."
