Summary

"All growth is uncomfortable, but a little bit of discomfort is a small price to pay for a lot of freedom." - Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife Rick and Sarah have become entangled with each other. Sarah feels obligated to keep Rick happy by managing him through their sexual relationship and is often worried about disappointing him. Sarah knows her sexual desires but tends to backburner them, for fear that she will lose control of herself in the relationship. In this episode, Jennifer helps Rick and Sarah see the unhealthy dynamic that has developed in their marriage and why this approval seeking is detrimental to passion. Jennifer guides Rick and Sarah to a new way of thinking, a mindset which will allow them to create a marriage where there is room for real choice and deeper intimacy.
