On this episode I talk about the difference between love and desire. Too often we think they are the same thing but they aren't. Love is stable and certain. It feels peaceful and safe. Desire on the other hand is more expansive and novel. It is yearning and passion. Love wants to belong. Desire wants autonomy.
Esther Perel says, “From the moment we are born, we straddle two sets of contradicting needs: the need for security and the need for freedom.”
And we experience this in our marriages as well. We want to belong and we want to be free.
Listen to learn more about the differences between love and desire and to see how necessary both are for a thriving, happy marriage.
