Emotional intelligence works on material the senses deliver. Sense arrives first, the felt recognition that something is real, that a person is hurting, that something in the room has shifted. Intelligence then asks what it means and what to do with it.
In love, sense is the opening. Intelligence is the movement inward from that opening. When the two work together, you meet people as they are. When intelligence overtakes sense, you relate to your model of a person rather than to the person themselves.
