As the stores get all gussied up in pink and red for Valentine's day, people reflect on love and relationships, no? And then, if they are anything like me, they struggle to begin one of those "let's talk about us" conversations with their chosen one. Why are they so hard to start? It is possible to start one without inflicting terror? I have yet to find.
Maybe you are in a relationship and it could use a small tune up. Here's a Valentine's gift from me to you - Esther Perel. Wise, wise, wise, Esther Perel.
Here's the plan - open a bottle of wine and (somehow) ask your partner to watch these short videos with you and then talk about them. Maybe you're above the problems. Go you! Celebrate! Or maybe they will strike a nerve that needs to be struck. Too terrorizing? Would you prefer a few sessions of couples counseling? Not me. I'm cheap.
If you're single, watch the videos anyway. There's plenty there for you too. (I know single.)
Relationships.
Gotta have them. May they magically be everything you need, which without a little magic and strong communication seems utterly impossible.
