Summary

"All in all, you know, committed sex is premeditated sex. It's not just gonna happen because whatever is gonna just happen already has. So you're gonna make it happen because you say, we matter, we're important." - Esther Perel In this captivating episode, renowned psychotherapist and relationship expert Esther Perel delves into the complex dynamics of desire and love in long-term relationships. With her signature blend of insight and candor, Perel challenges conventional wisdom about maintaining passion, arguing that confidence and independence are key to sustaining attraction. She explores the delicate balance between love's need for caretaking and desire's need for mystery and risk, offering practical advice for couples seeking to reignite their spark.
