"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.

Perel doesn't shy away from addressing the effort required to maintain a vibrant relationship.
