Empathy is truly the heart of the relationship,”
said Carin Goldstein, a licensed marriage and family therapist.
“Without it, the relationship will struggle to survive.” That’s because empathy requires compassion. And, without compassion, couples can’t develop a bond.
============================
“Empathy bridges the divide between being
separate individuals with different backgrounds,
feelings and perspectives.”
