In this book, Esther Perel explores the paradoxical union of domesticity and sexual desire, arguing that our cultural penchant for equality, togetherness, and absolute candor can be antithetical to erotic desire. Drawing on more than twenty years of experience as a couples therapist, Perel uses case studies and lively discussions to demonstrate how more exciting, playful, and poetic sex is possible in long-term relationships. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining independence, mystery, and the space between self and other to sustain desire.
The 80/80 Marriage pushes couples beyond the limited idea of 'fairness' toward a new model grounded on radical generosity and shared success. Developed by husband-and-wife team Nate and Kaley Klemp, this model calls for each partner to contribute 80 percent to build the strongest possible relationship. Drawing from over one hundred interviews with couples, stories from business and pop culture, scientific studies, and ancient philosophical insights, the book provides practical solutions to transform relationships and open up space for greater love and connection[1][3][4].
