Emotional bonding is the strongest bonding created between two people with strong emotional feelings. When two people have strong feelings on friendship, love or any relationship the bonding between them make emotionally strong. This bonding is far beyond just physical attraction, self-interest, selfishness and empathy.

The emotional bond between two persons is formed when they trust each other more than themselves, trust each other with closed eyes, can share everything with each other with an open mind, and give each other equal dignity. Emotional bonding is when one's image is reflected on the other, seeing oneself in the other.

What is your understanding of the person in front of you, it is a big factor in any relationship. Emotional bonds are formed with him/her, with whom understanding develops. Stephen Covey says that "First seek to understand, then seek to be understood"

What is the importance of emotional bond: In this busy world, relationships seem to be rolling in the dust of neglect and humiliation. Mutual bondings have become very fragile, so for some reasons it is breaking down, moving away from each other on various pretexts. The bond of love is now only to become a physical bond, so, like a bumblebee, the lover are eating honey of this flower today then tomorrow the honey of other flower. The relationship between husband and wife, parents and children has also become a bond of interest. The number of divorces is increasing day by day because people are not able to be emotionally bound. Parents have to go to the old age home, Teenagers and young children are looking for a way out of their parents. Relationships have become like small dramas.

This tension will not go away until two people think or are bound to be emotionally attached. When emotionally connected to each other, if you can openly share everything, only then can any bond be formed emotionally. And without emotional attachment, emotional feelings, such as love, pride, and sadness, can never be shared. If a person cannot share his emotional feelings with anyone, his/her anger will gradually increase, he/she will feel lonely, he/she will suffer from mental depression. In order to get out of all this, people are more inclined towards illegal, anti-social activities. Such depressed people can not only harm others but also sacrifice or end their lives whenever they want.

The most important thing is that the mind of a person who is in emotional bond is in resourceful state most of the time. And if a person is in a resourceful state, his behavior is bound to be extremely positive. If the behavior is positive, taking action in a positive direction will produce great results.

Now come to the point 'What is actually needed for emotional bonding':

To be a good listener: The first pillar of developing emotional bonding is to develop understanding. To develop better understanding of others is to make yourself a good listener. If we don't listen to the person in front of us with concern, with genuine interest and very carefully, then we are hearing but not listening, that is, it enters into the ear but does not enter into the mind. If we listen carefully and with genuine interest to the person in front, we will understand his point of view. Emotional bonding is not possible without understanding the ones point of view.

Take Genuine interest: Never mind what self-interests you have, what you get from the person in front of you. Rather do think in such a way how and what can you do well for the person infront of you. Most people in this world think before they mix with others, what self-interests they have, what benefits they will get, what they will achieve out of it. There are very few people who think about their role in the life of others, what contribution they can give, how to make the life of the person infront better. Have a genuine interest in helping the person in front of you, doing something good for him/her. Instead of focusing on yourself, focus on the person in front of you, his/her likes and dislikes, interest, problems.

Thus it is said " Relationship is not a place to demand, it is the place to give".

If you love, help, give hope and surrender yourself unselfishly, then the person in front of you is automatically connected with you and the bond will be emotional bonding.

What is actually needed for emotional bonding.
