Emotional Intelligence The Key To A Happy Relationship

What exactly is emotional intelligence?

Let’s take a look at a couple of definitions:

• “The capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically” (lexico.com)
  
  
• Being able to recognize, understand and manage our own emotions, as well as to recognize, understand and influence the emotions of others

As you can see, emotional intelligence is not only good for your relationship, but also for you and everyone around you!

Those with poor emotional intelligence rarely make good life partners or friends. Emotional intelligence isn’t the only thing that matters if you want to be part of a successful relationship, but it counts for a lot. Those with low emotional intelligence consistently disappoint their partners emotionally.

If you have low emotional intelligence, you are a threat to the self-esteem of everyone around you.
