Understanding


Tips For A Healthy Relationship

Step 8: Understanding 

When you're able to correctly identify an emotion your partner is expressing, or to understand why he or she is feeling a certain way, you can respond to their needs more effectively.  For example, by offering support or talking through a concern they might have.Understanding your partner's perspective and feelings is especially critical during disagreement.
Another way to develop your understanding of your partner's emotions is regularly ask what they are feeling and why. This is especially valuable in situations where you aren't absolutely certain of the emotions your partner is feeling, or of why they are expressing particular emotions. Understanding your own feelings will make you much better at understanding your partner's feelings. 
Expressing emotions isn't easy. This may especially be the case if the situation deals with those "softer" underlying emotions.Your partner is more likely to be able to share how they're feeling when they have a general sense of trust that you will be there for them, and when you act in a caring and accepting way with them during the conversation.
