It is not a weakness for men to express emotions
We, at Briefly News had the pleasure of speaking with psychologist and relationship expert Penny Holburn about men publicly expressing emotions.
We asked her what it means for a man's emotional vulnerability when he openly cries during a significant moment, such as a wedding. She said:
"I think we are getting to the point where we can acknowledge that crying is okay for everyone - including adult men. Crying is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign that we are human beings who feel, and sometimes we have strong feelings about an event. And then it is okay to cry. It shows that the moment is significant."
We asked Penny how cultural background influences the way men express emotions in relationships and marriages. She responded:
"Society influences us in terms of what we think is okay or not. Initially, it is our parents and families, but later on, other people have a huge impact on what we see as suitable and desirable behaviour. The media, our heroes, our friends, our reading material and what we listen to, all impact what we ultimately come to use as norms for the way in which we act."
The team asked the expect for her advice for couples on embracing and understanding emotional expression in their marriages and relationships. Penny shared:
"Understand what emotions mean to each partner. In order for a relationship to grow emotions need to be shared. It is very difficult for either partner to have a relationship where the one partner does not express or talk about emotions.
Can you imagine if someone went to a sports match and never cheered for their team or expressed any emotion? The players would think no one cared about their performance on the field. When something matters to us we express emotions - be it tears of joy, anger or some other emotion."
Mzansi comments on the man's speech
The video resonated with many social media users who flooded the comment section to express how moved they were by the groom's vulnerability and sincerity. Many celebrated the authenticity of the moment, agreeing that love is a beautiful thing. Others praised the groom for expressing his emotions freely and wished the couple a lifetime of happiness and love.
