Today I celebrate my 40th wedding anniversary. I have said: “Don’t confuse longevity with success,” and I feel so fortunate to have had some measure of both.

You think she’s losing interest, but she’s not feeling anything. Comment ‘Watch’ and I’ll personally DM you the conversation. @estherperelofficial breaks down a truth most men don’t see coming: women often get bored of monogamy long before men do. But it’s not about quantity. It’s about energy. If the connection lacks vibrancy, creativity, and presence, it fades. The issue isn’t the act itself. It’s who she’s experiencing it with… and how. What do you think keeps long-term connection alive? Credit: @estherperelofficial x @thediaryofaceopodcast

Help is an essential part of human connection. Can you remember a time when someone helped you – or when you helped someone else – and you felt particularly close and connected?
@estherperelofficial: relationships are living organisms. Whether it be to ourselves, one another, or to the natural world, relationships take on a life of their own—interconnected and constantly evolving. For them to thrive, we need to balance our capacity for stability with our ability to adapt. In the first episode of our brand new podcast, The Nature Of, renowned therapist Esther Perel speaks with host @willowonearth about the intersections between human and ecological connection, the epidemic of loneliness that so many are experiencing today, and how nature can help us deepen our bonds with each other. Listen to the full episode now at the link in our bio. This episode was made possible by the Sierra Club Foundation, the foundation for a healthy planet. Video edited by @eganworks

On the podcast this week, I speak to a woman whose husband has been cheating on her for years. What’s next for her? Comment PODCAST and I’ll DM you the link to watch on YouTube now.
Relationships thrive through repeated presence, not sporadic gestures. Rituals, routines, and shared rhythms build a shared reality.
On this week’s episode of the podcast, I meet a couple at a crossroads. Through 40 years of marriage, they built a life together. They immigrated to the United States, raised children, grew a business, and established a community. Six months ago, her longtime suspicion was confirmed: her husband had engaged in a 25 year affair with her cousin. Reeling from the truth, she questions how he could have done this to her. Overtaken with guilt, he hopes that time will heal their wounds. They arrive at my office wondering what they can do to repair their relationship after this profound betrayal.
