How Awesome Is
Emotional Connection !
So, What does emotional connectedness look like? Emotions can be very strong, but invisible. To a great extent, they are the glue that holds couples together. Here are some indicators of being strongly connected:
- You not only know that you are loved, but you also have a deep sense of love.
- It's feeling close and connected. The ability to share deep feelings with each other, not only in the good times, but those times that are difficult. When you have a broken heart, a deep discouragement. These times can actually bring us closer together.
- Remember when you were first together, how you could talk for hours about anything, then go home and talk on the phone, or text. Those were the times that you were closely connected. Are they still there, or have they gone with the wind.
Speaking of communication, when a couple is emotionally connected, they can be vulnerable with feelings, thoughts and words.
So, what causes married couples to lose the close feelings,
to be distant, cold, and non-responsive? It could be some old wounds, trauma,or, simply taking each other for granted.
Every person has basic emotional needs. I will only mention
seven: Attention, appreciatiion, affection, approval, comfort,
encouragement, and respect.
Most people will have 3 or 5 of these needs. If either a husband
or wife is missing their core needs, emotional disconnection
is most likely to occur.
is likely to occur.
