Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • Money leaves my account every month for things I signed up for once and forgot about
  • We’re in the same room every evening but we might as well be on separate planets
  • There’s a show I’m hooked on and a workout I keep dodging
  • We’re both trying so hard and somehow both ending up feeling unloved, and I’m starting to think we’re each pouring love in the exact form we’d want to get it back
  • I told myself I’d only watch my show while on the treadmill, but I just watch it whenever I feel like it, so there’s no reason left to actually get on the machine

  9. Mating in Captivity: Sustaining Desire in Long-Term Relationships
    Esther Perel argues that the conditions that make love secure — closeness, familiarity, predictability — are structurally at odds with the conditions that sustain erotic desire — mystery, distance, and the thrill of unpredictability. Sustaining desire is not about technique but about holding the paradox: you can be deeply known and still be a little unknown, still be an object of curiosity for each other.
  10. Designate 2-3 scheduled checking windows per day
    Check social and news feeds only during specific time-boxed windows — not on demand.
