Summer passed, and the first cool winds announced the coming of autumn. In the little cottage beneath the lilac bush, everything grew even cozier: the stove crackled in the evenings, bundles of dried herbs hung in the pantry, and jars of preserves stood neatly upon the shelves.

In the singles, this fear can be in the form of avoidance of dating, obsessive thinking of the interactions or unwillingness to demonstrate genuine emotions.

One psychologist Daniel Goleman points out that EI is critical in the maneuvering of intricate interpersonal situations. Emotional intelligence in couples enables the couples to act wisely as opposed to acting immediately in times of conflict. Miscommunication and defensiveness are lessened by understanding the emotional triggers, personal, or that of the partner. When couples learn to generate EI, they are in a better position to determine the source of disagreements, which also creates a constructive environment instead of an adversarial one.
