Happiness is in the balance
The human couple is like a microcosm of cultural ideas penetrate and then passed on to children. A kind of portal in space and time, as everything that responds to society, a model often changes with changing times Menendez Mileyda Davila mileyda@juventudrebelde.cu April 13, 2012 20:52:24 CDT Google translation. So I have come back to so many places to find myself and constantly examine me. Pablo Neruda "Sexuality is a window to enter society," says psychologist and anthropologist Esther Perel Belgian, with whom we spoke in January for Sexology Congress 2012. The therapist, based in New York, defines the human couple as a microcosm where they penetrate the cultural ideas and then they pass to their children. A kind of portal in space and time, as everything that responds to society, a model often changes with changing times. In his opinion, modern marriage left behind the old sexuality and reproduction and obligation to break into a new focus on sexuality and erotic desire principled forged with Romanticism, a cultural movement that transformed the world from the seventeenth century. However, this romantic notion of the "passionate marriage" is pursued both currently has in its essence a historical contradiction: passion and commitment is a couple trying to reconcile dialectical to meet one person in a very different needs, such as adventure and stability, surprise and comfort. "Today more women ask ... and we divorce more quickly because we are disappointed. Although we continue to see the couple as a partner to start a family and achieve economic security in this century we seek above all that our man is the friend, lover, confidant. " Modern women live a life open to individual projects, the social role, the decision to have fewer offspring and performed outside the home, but it exacts a high price in privacy, she says. "It's an existential dilemma by passing all couples who manage to be stable: eroticism is our way of feeling alive, but without realizing it redirect to whom we follow the steps in the family and neglect our erotic world," recounts . "Many women stop arranged to look beautiful, but were pleased to see how they do their daughters. Others fail to "look after" the husband celar the teenager, and most marriages just adults organize outings a few times a year, yet financially and materially support the weekly recreation of their young offspring. " Sexually "smart" Esther has traveled to dozens of countries studying couples in their own historical and cultural context to try to answer those questions that everyone has ever done: "Why is forbidden so erotic, and then we no longer excites obtained ? Why everyday sexuality, made with love, is often not as exciting as a casual encounter? Why sex makes children kill children and then sex? '. In fluent Spanish and full of metaphors, Esther spoke with several Cuban journalists about the success of his book Erotic Intelligence, published since 2007 by various publishers, which is arguing about these questions. He told us, the term originated as a joke of her husband (been married 30 years), but then I found both sense: if there is already talk of emotional intelligence, why not accept that sex requires its own share of knowledge and intuition? At this time, a woman "intelligent" sexually and with a secure attachment style is looking for men who want it, not in need. The difference is easy to spot, says Esther, "In the first case say" I love you ", while the second asked" Why not me? "Even though you have given all the evidence of love that you have asked over the relationship ... And this is also true in reverse: women demanding too emotionally dependent on their partners. The diversity of manifestations of this dependence is primarily cultural in the complaint open predominates; in them is hidden or springs with a lot of aggression, especially in countries macho tradition. The desire is fire, and needs room to grow. Things will be better in many marriages when they understand that this is not a conflict to be solved, but a paradox to be accepted, as many in this century: "One can be happy in a stable marriage, but the road to that happiness is the balance between individual freedom and mutual commitment. " Be smart with your partner If you want to apply intelligence erotic partner in your life, here are some tips Terra commented on the site as "survival list" conjugal • Take an interest in hobbies and show your partner what you like you. • You are not Siamese twins, do not have to go everywhere together. • Work activities must be compatible for married life. • Prevents erosion communication: salt house to talk about intimate things. • Do not fight your partner's hobbies, incorporate them into the routine. • Do not try to change the other person, accepts a downside to the upside. • balance the balance of roles, do not try to be as long as both the dominant voice. • Put in place before judging your partner why they act in one way or another.
