Emotional Responsiveness & Intelligence
Become an Emotionally Responsive Spouse
About This Course
Spouses often struggle with identifying and understanding how their partner feels. They may also have a difficult time understanding and identifying their own feelings. As a result, they struggle to meet the emotional and practical needs of their spouse. This deficit in responsiveness often leads to emotional dissatisfaction and the feeling of unfulfillment within an intimate relationship.

- What it means to be emotionally responsive to your spouse and demonstrate emotional intelligence.
- Definitions and applications of Emotional Responsiveness and Emotional Intelligence within a marital relationship.

- What emotional reactivity is and its impact on the responsive process.
- How to create emotionally safe places.
- The science behind how our brain works in an emotional exchange.
- How to identify emotions and communicate them appropriately.
