Reading Recommendations in one place

I just started reading a book titled: Mating In Captivity by Esther Perel.

I am just a couple of chapters into the book at this point. I find it both insightful and disturbing at the same time (you will understand what I mean).

I don't expect this book will provide practical solutions for divorce busters. However, I do think it provides insight into what drives a walk-away-spouse. The book also sheds some light on why detaching and getting a life can help.

Below are two quotes from a review of this book that I think illustrate my points.

"Passion demands you discard all that's dear to you - so what are you waiting for?"

"The cozy closeness of marriage does not often promote unruly desire; that children, the fruit of eros, are sometimes simultaneously its end; and that knowing everything about a person domestically or psychologically does not always make one crave that person biblically."
