When I step into my wife’s world, I always try to better understand her and try to do this as often as possible. I used to think there weren’t many practical ways to do this until I started thinking outside the box and paying attention to things she did where I could step up for her. There were times when I learned something, and there were times when I didn’t, but it was the act of trying that allowed me to understand her more, and that’s all that matters. Growing in empathy means putting yourself out there in ways you haven’t before, and I’m telling you from experience that it’s worth it.
