Respect and Empathy
13. They Show Empathy
A good partner will offer empathetic understanding when you’re overwhelmed and provide emotional support to help you navigate through difficult times. It’s the skill that enables partners to look beyond their own frame of reference and see situations through their partner’s eyes.
Trivia: Did you know that empathy has two main components: affective (ability to share the feelings of others) and cognitive (ability to understand the feelings of others)? Your partner having both makes the bond much stronger.14. They Exude Kindness
A good partner intuitively practices kindness not just in big ways but also in small day-to-day gestures. Kindness is a crucial aspect that contributes to the safety, trust, and comfort in a relationship.
“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”
– Mark Twain
