In this season of Where Should We Begin, I speak to a constellation of new couples—a couple wrestling with the guilt they feel over the happiness their infidelity created, another trying to make space for their queerness in an outwardly appearing heteronormative relationship. We even check back in with couples from seasons past to see where they are now, as we explore our own relational patterns and experiences through the stories of others.

“I love you no matter what.” “You’re driving me crazy.” “I want to spend forever with you.” “I can’t do this anymore.” “I want more time together.” “I need space.” How often have we said and heard these phrases? How often have we said and heard them within one relationship? “Relational Ambivalence” is the experience of contradictory thoughts and feelings—of love and hate, attraction and disgust, excitement and fear, contempt and envy—toward someone with whom we are in a relationship. So as we as

Play is essential. Regardless of age. And it shouldn't end when childhood does. Sure, we can engage in play as adults because it’s healthy, because it releases endorphins, and so on. But that’s kind of like saying that one should make love because it burns calories. Playing as adults is about pleasure, connection, creativity, fantasy—all the juicy parts of life we savor. Play is the pleasure of being inventive, mischievous, imaginative, and trying something new. Like Lewis mentions, incorporatin

In this classic episode of Where Should We Begin?, I meet a man who’s never been in a relationship for more than five months. As he approaches age 40, he knows the reason lies with him, and not the women he’s dating. I encourages him to look back and see if the clues can be found in his early parental relationships. Perhaps the work starts there. Enjoy now and YouTube and let me know what you think: https://youtu.be/MXDXcq3Nn04?si=T6kBv2zebn2g2vpY | Esther Perel

Dating today is less about wanting a life together, and more about having experiences that satisfy us and our sense of self, even if it’s temporary. We are always looking for the next best thing. As we shift the focus to ourselves, we become more of a consumer, and as consumers, we are taught to evaluate meticulously. We want to ensure value in our relationships, return on investment, and if or when the value seems to drop, we're caught asking ourselves if there's a better deal out there. The co
