This is the 4th of a 7 part series discussing our basic human needs and how they relate to fulfilling relationships and marriage.

In this series we will discuss The Need For Understanding.

Changing Minds says: “If we understand the world around us, then we have a far greater chance of controlling it. Even if we cannot control it, we can make informed choices about what we might do next. The brain helps us do this, by giving us a little squirt of dopamine whenever we learn something, creating that satisfying ‘aha!’ or ‘eureka!’ experience.
When we lack understanding, we feel the extreme discomfort of confusion, which motivates us to gain understanding. This, perhaps, is one of the main driving forces that have led to the enormous developments of mankind”.

As so it is in our intimate relationships….we must feel understood and understand in order to thrive.
