This is so valuable to hear/internalise!

I am not jealous by nature, but 40 years ago I had the strange experience of sitting on one side of a room smoking a cigarette while my husband and an old girlfriend of his sat on the other to avoid the smoke. I said to myself that was never going to happen again and quit smoking on the spot! LOL!

I think it's important to "desire" your partner. Their touch, smell, energy, friendship, opinion, etc. Without desire it dies.

"My partner doesn't belong to me. They are on loan to me with an option to renew "...my biggest takeaway from this...so true, and very important to remember! Thank you, Esther! 💜

I dated someone for a few months and they said they didn’t want kids as we started . Slowly I thought they would change their mind but one time I had a pregnancy scare and I saw how he acted about it . He clearly stated that if I was pregnant he didn’t want anything to do with it . The next day I broke up with him . We are not on the same stage in life and I realized I can’t change him . Now I’m only dating if we are on the same stage in life and only if our core values align .

I needed to hear this. I married my husband for his personality, character and values. But I try to change this one thing and I thought whether I will be happy if that doesn’t change and after Esther’s words I understood that there are sides of my husband that are much more important to me that this one thing I’d like him to change. Now I think that if it changes - great, if not - he is still the greatest man for me and I don’t want to give him up.

I love this woman. Everything she says comes from this place of thoughtfulness that cuts through the superficial.

That he chose to be vulnerable in a public conversation is attractive to us as the audience! This channel has some of the best conversations with Esther! So many good tips at a well paced discussion!

every word this woman says, has its own weight ! I was watching this video and noticed I was nodding yes the whole time. what an honor it is to have access to Esther's wisdom.

Don’t complain about your spouse to anyone else. If you have a problem with your spouse, talk to your spouse. Listen to your spouse. Think about what your spouse says.

You only have one spouse.

There isn’t anything better out there.

Jealousy can be a healthy emotion. You are aware of a threat to lose what you love. Like fear, it is vital to feel it. Often, when one partner was jealous in a relationship, there was indeed a good reason for it.

She is so full of practical knowledge and has the chops to communicate masterfully. Wow!
