  • Relationships are not puzzles to solve with a single piece. While communication, conflict resolution, and other skills are crucial, they are just parts of a larger picture. True connection requires the depth of understanding, the warmth of empathy, and the unwavering commitment to grow together.

  • It is possible to turn conflict into connection. It takes empathy and grace, hard work and learning new skills. And it takes a bit of bravery.

  • We think that children act, whereas what they mostly do is react. Parents who realise this acquire a powerful tool. By noticing their own responses to the child, rather than fixating on the child's responses to them, they free up tremendous energy for growth.

  • Indeed, the responsibility for the world the child grows to understand lies in the collective impressions that the village provides.

  • A person who tries to be the perfect partner feels as though they must have it all together, as if that just comes naturally. But in reality, you are allowed to make mistakes, search for yourself, and not have all the answers about who you really are.

    Esther Perel
    Psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author

  • A relationship based on Esther Perel's work prioritises balancing opposing forces, maintaining desire, fostering open communication, and cultivating emotional connection. It is a relationship that is dynamic, resilient, and capable of navigating the complexities of modern love.
