Here are three skills that no one ever taught you. And I mean taught you to use together. These skills can deepen intimacy. And they may improve your relationship. They are empathy, attunement, and responsiveness. When used together, they can create an amazing bonding experience.

An additional reminder is this. You mission is to enter and explore your wife’s world through the use of these three concepts.

Empathy

Empathy is experiencing her emotionally. You listen to her thoughts and feel her emotions underneath the words.

Attunement

Attunement is getting in sync with your wife and matching her emotional mood. When she’s sad, you be sad. When she’s glad, you be glad.

Responsiveness

Responsiveness means responding to her struggles. Examples include offering your wife comfort when she’s struggling. And, providing reassurance when she’s stretching herself.

Prayer

Father, please give me wisdom. Help me bless my wife and honor you. Help us grow in oneness. Amen.
