Nobody ever complains about feeling too understood; rather, struggles stem from a lack of empathy—more essential than love for maintaining a strong relationship.
Empathy is the emotional glue that holds relationships together. Love may bring people together, but empathy keeps them connected.
When your partner shares feelings, resist the urge to give advice. Instead, validate their emotions with phrases like, 'That sounds overwhelming.'
Empathy doesn't require problem-solving; it's about being present and acknowledging your partner's feelings in a meaningful way.
