What do you want in a relationship ?

What do you want in a relationship ?

This is a question which many of us do not discuss with our partners and it may lead to frustration

Here is a link to a talk by a unique relationship therapist Esther Perel who discusses how we might ask this question

She talks about "Erotic Intelligence" which is also about sensual and nurturing intelligence. People who've been nurtured by a responsive, caring and emotionally generous family environment just "know" how to do this with their mates. And this is the sexiest thing in a mate! It is this inherent understanding and compassion for human needs and the willingness and ability to fulfill those needs in your partner.

She also talks about "primal intelligence" and the ability to meet primal needs without exploitation or dominance.

What do you want in your relationship ?

And how well does reality match your dreams ?

Some great work from Esther Perel’s publicity team right here haha 👏🏻

I have no connection with the speaker !

I was just blown away by her talk and wondered what others felt about it

Hi Esther!

Never heard of Esther.

Lots of cash and a big willy

Esther encourages us to lower our standards even more.

What do I want from a relationship?
Not a damn thing. Can't be bothered.

I think Perel talks a lot of sense; but she's definitely the Marmite of relationship therapists, and there are many on here who would totally disagree with her stance, particularly on infidelity.
