EI in Intimate Partner Relationships
About
Intimate interpersonal relationships, such as romantic or marital relations, have the potential to be both emotion-rich as well as high-conflict social contexts. Why does the very intimacy that connects two people often lay the groundwork for both emotional highs and lows? Research has shown that couples with thriving, strong relationships have well-developed emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence describes a person’s ability to be aware of and express emotions in a healthy manner. In other words, it is the capacity to handle relationships appropriately and empathetically. In an intimate relationship, emotional intelligence translates into the ability to be in touch with your own emotions as well as those of your partner. A person’s capacity for empathy and ability to talk about emotions in a healthy and loving way are both components of emotional intelligence and vital for making love last.GUEST SPEAKER: CINDY CRANSWICK- Emotion Focused Relationship Counsellor
