Where it sits. EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), attachment-based couple intervention
Islamic evidence
Do not grieve, God is with us (Qur'an 9:40). A word of reassurance carries that same steadying comfort.
“Even if you do not help the Prophet, God helped him when the disbelievers drove him out: when the two of them were in the cave, he [Muhammad] said to his companion, ‘Do not worry, God is with us,’ and God sent His calm down to him, aided him with forces…”
Qur'an 9:40
Psychological evidence
The fear that we might lose each other runs quietly under many fights. Saying I am here, we are okay, out loud, settles an alarm that assumptions never reach.
Johnson, S.M. (2019). Guilford
