Research shows that:

  1. When couples strengthen their emotional intelligence, they experience more positive and fulfilling communication in their relationships.

  2. Couples in which both partners demonstrated higher emotional intelligence tended to report greater satisfaction and overall marital quality.

  3. Among married partners, higher emotional intelligence was associated with more positive approaches to resolving conflict and stronger relationship dynamics.

  4. In general, couples who scored higher in emotional intelligence tended to communicate more effectively and described their marriages as healthier and more fulfilling.

  5. Partners who reported experiencing greater warmth and affection from their parents growing up also tended to exhibit higher emotional intelligence within their marriages.

  6. Lower emotional intelligence may be linked with higher infidelity risk.

  7. Interventions that enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation could be especially effective for couples struggling with closeness and communication.

Disclaimer: The assessments used in this program (e.g., DiSC, Change Style Indicator, and CliftonStrengths) are validated tools commonly applied in workplace and leadership settings. These are the same tools organizations use to help teams communicate and collaborate effectively. In coaching, we use the results to facilitate conversations between partners, helping them share insights, discuss differences, and better understand how each person communicates, approaches change, and contributes strengths.
