About this product

A committed relationship provides security, but security seems to be at odds with excitement and passion. How do you keep a committed relationship exciting? This question is central to Esther Perel's book. Most people seek security in their relationship. They want a reliable, monogamous partner whom they know inside out. But an intimate and equal relationship does not necessarily lead to a good sex life. And it is precisely the absence of eroticism that can put a relationship under pressure.

Esther Perel explores this paradox in her widely acclaimed book. She shows that desire needs space, mystery and a certain distance - even within a loving relationship. With practical insights and recognisable examples from her practice, she offers couples tools to rekindle the erotic spark.
