Episode Details

There are two things most of us want in our marriage:  to be heard and to be understood.

Even when we're struggling with disagreement or in a season of tension, if we know we're being heard and understood, we can move beyond just about anything.

In a word, we all need empathy from our partner.

But you can't force your spouse to have empathy for you.  You only have the capacity to have empathy for them (which can positively impact just about everything).  And there are most likely a few barriers that will stand in your way.

In this episode, we're revealing 3 barriers that rob you of being more empathetic and 6 powerful tips to growing your empathy.

Once you learn how to practice more empathy for your partner, you'll discover a new level of intimacy and unity that you may have never experienced before.

You'll Discover:

• The benefits of true empathy — especially for blended family couples
• 3 common barriers to responding with empathy in marriage
• 6 practical and powerful tips to growing your empathy
• How to avoid leaving your spouse feeling unheard, misunderstood or alone
