What emotional intelligence means and why you can’t last in a relationship without it

Everyone in a relationship or marriage is expected to understand that the entire affair is a huge emotional playground and to not crash, what is required is emotional intelligence.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize your own emotions and that of others; to process them wisely and find a balance between acting on your emotions, but with a consideration of how it would make others feel.

Emotional intelligence is also often associated with the act of empathizing with someone, recognizing problems, and being able to connect on a deeper level.

So most times, when people say they want ‘mature’ partners, what they really mean is that they want people who have developed a firm grasp on their own emotions to the point that they can always consider how other people feel before doing or saying anything.

The maturity people seek in relationships, after all, is usually sought in the context of being treated fairly, having their feelings respected and being with someone who is level-headed even when their emotions are bubbling madly underneath.

All this is exactly what emotional intelligence is about.

Emotional intelligence in relationships

Let’s quickly chip it in here that emotional intelligence is not just applicable in romantic relationships and marriages. It is useful for all forms of relationships – from professional to parental and even social.

Within a romantic and marital context, too, emotional intelligence is so, so important because the continued existence of the relationship and the happiness of the partners in it rely so much on emotions and how they are handled.

Knowing what to say, when to say it and how to say it could be the difference between staying married and heading for a divorce.

Recognizing when to act and the extent of one’s action can also have bigger, far-reaching consequences than you’d expect.

Many conflicts in relationships are hinged on emotional quotient [EQ] and only emotionally intelligent individuals are more likely to process their feelings and the feelings of their partners in a healthy manner.

In conclusion, emotional intelligence or lack of it is not a fixed thing. It can increase and it can also wane.

Whatever you do, though, ensure to always be the partner who never loses sight of the feelings and emotions of their significant other. That way, you can create an atmosphere where you both grow.

What Chelsea plan to do with Nicolas Jackson

Latest entertainment gist

Chelsea suffer back to back losses just days after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Manchester City at Wembley with one name on the lips of fans’ mouth; the Blues’ infamous striker, Nicolas Jackson.

After a 5-0 humiliation to Arsenal away at the famous Emirates stadium, it seems the Blues are ready to initiate other plans for the Senegalese.

Nicolas Jackson, 22, faced a reality check in his team’s recent 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals, where his inability to convert promising opportunities drew scrutiny and raised questions about his reliability as Chelsea’s main center-forward in the upcoming campaign.

Renowned Rangers legend and talkSPORT pundit Ally McCoist has joined the chorus of skepticism surrounding Jackson’s ability to shoulder the responsibility of leading Chelsea’s frontline next season.

Throughout the current campaign, Nicolas Jackson has made 37 appearances, finding the back of the net on 13 occasions, a commendable feat but one that fails to assuage concerns about his consistency and clinical edge.

As Chelsea continue to explore options to bolster their attacking prowess, with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen among the names linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, the prospect of a new arrival threatens to overshadow Jackson’s position within the squad.

Graeme Bailey, an insider for HITC, shed light on the situation in an interview with The Chelsea Chronicle, suggesting that the club’s pursuit of Osimhen could spell trouble for Jackson’s future.

“[Romelu] Lukaku, I don’t see him coming back with Jackson being there as he is, who’s going to be the bonafide No.2 to that first-choice No.9 who they do want,” remarked Bailey. “Osimhen is still the one they desire, the one they want.”

However, the potential acquisition of Osimhen comes with a hefty price tag, with reports indicating a staggering €130m (£111.9m) release clause in his contract. Such a substantial investment would mark Osimhen as the second most expensive signing in Chelsea’s history, underscoring the club’s determination to secure his services.
