Mating in Captivity: Reconciling the Erotic and the Domestic by Esther Perel

4.0

Mating in Captivity

Eroticism requires separateness

Romantics and realists

Stability and passion

Passion in a relationship is commiserate with how much uncertainty a person can take

Recovering curiosity

QUESTIONS FOR THERAPY: how did you meet? What attracted you to one another?

Separateness is a precondition for connection

Love is about having, desire is about wanting.

It takes two people to create a pattern, but only one to change it.
