In this segment of the men's marriage repair workshop, Maurice Harker, Director of Life Changing Services, discusses the concept of situational empathy and its crucial role in building a healthy marriage. He uses powerful examples, including Christ's situational empathy during his crucifixion, to illustrate the depth of understanding and compassion required in relationships.

Maurice begins by challenging the idea that marriage should be easy and emphasizes the importance of embracing the challenges that come with it. He encourages participants to develop situational empathy, a key skill for improving communication and resolving conflicts.

Using examples from the life of Christ, Maurice illustrates the concept of situational empathy in the face of adversity and personal pain. He urges participants to strive for the same level of empathy and understanding in their relationships, even when they discover aspects of themselves or their partners that need improvement.

Participants actively engage in the discussion, sharing their thoughts and experiences related to situational empathy. Maurice acknowledges the difficulty of the journey and encourages them to prioritize and work on one aspect at a time while relying on divine help.

The message throughout the workshop is clear: both men and women need to develop situational empathy and compassion for each other's struggles and imperfections. Building a healthy marriage requires understanding, empathy, and a willingness to support each other in personal growth.
