Emotional Quotient plays a vital role in a person’s personal and professional growth. Lots of people have high IQ or you can say have calibre but are not that successful. If you or your loved one are one of them, the reason behind this would be low EQ. Following signs may be a danger or a warning signals pointing towards low EQ:

  • Bad Social Relationship: having a hard time maintaining healthy relationships and tends to feel like a victim.
  • Argumentative: expresses opinions early on and stubbornly sticks by them, no matter what. Often argue and doesn’t know how to correctly express.
  • Lack of Empathy: a stranger to the feelings of others. Unable to understand what others feel and it annoys when others expect them to know how they feel.

To make your relationship or marriage remarkably enriching then as an experienced marriage counsellor, I should recommend you to add emotional intelligence to it. It is like oxygen to a marriage. These days relationships fail due to lack of it. In the absence of it, your interaction with your spouse will be boring and mundane. You have to censor your words and lacks transparency. Even you have to search for topics to interact. If both partners are self-aware about oneself and each other’s feelings and both are able to manage their own emotions as well as their impact on others then each is able to make accurate interpretations of the situation and make them free from being negatively influenced by the other’s emotions. Hence, both don’t yell back at each other in troubled situations and able to handle the conflicts well.
