RELATIONALLY CHALLENGED : Imaginative Relationships

One of the challenges people face in virtually all of their
relationships is the inability or unwillingness to empathize with
the other person. However, putting effort into knowing the other
person's story and longings will go a long way to improving your
capacity for empathy and your relationships overall. Jesus
teaches us to do this when he commands us to love the other
person like ourselves -- we must put effort into thinking what we
would want were we in their shoes, in their story. | Matthew
22:34-40
