Understanding Relationships, Connections and Distance

Today, we are joined by Rafi Billick, a couples therapist based in Baltimore and author of "Couples Communication Handbook: The Skills You Never Learned for the Marriage You Always Wanted." With years of experience helping couples at every stage of their relationships, from newly engaged to decades-married, Billick emphasizes that the foundation of all successful relationships lies in empathy. Many relationship experts believe that empathy lies at the heart of every successful relationship. Through years of clinical observation, therapists have discovered that the ability to truly understand and feel what a partner is experiencing creates the foundation for lasting connections.

As a sex therapist, I’ve seen how political differences can create stress between couples. When partners don’t agree on politics, it can lead to arguments and distance. That’s why empathy—being able to understand and respect how someone else feels—is so important. Even if you don’t agree, showing kindness and care can help keep your connection strong.
