Everyone’s heard of an IQ, or an “Intelligence Quotient.” We all know that we have one, and most people would prefer to have at least a normal or above average IQ. But when it comes to relationships, a high IQ score is no measure of how smart you are in love. It doesn’t measure the intelligence of your heart, only your head. To measure that, I’ve devised a new metric I call the RIQ, or Relationship Intelligence Quotient.

In fact, in relationships, listening to your head can often be fatal, and is the cause of a wide variety of relationship troubles. This is because too often we’re thinking too hard  instead of feeling, and relationships are ruled by the heart, not the head: You could say that the heart isn’t exactly  illogical, but has its own kind of logic. As Pascal said, “Le cœur a ses raisons, que la raison ne connaît point,” which means, the heart has its reasons that reason doesn’t understand!
