Finding "The One"

Esther Perel

ā€œHow do I know when I’ve found The One?ā€ – Austin, Baltimore, MD

This idea of finding ā€œThe Oneā€ is problematic for relationships. The paradox of choice creates a real sense of anxiety for people looking to find a long-term partner. The expectations of one person to satisfy all of our many emotional, physical, and spiritual needs is a tall order for one individual.Ā
