“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea”.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
This beautiful quote makes me think of how sometimes in couple therapy, in our attempt to help struggling couples, we focus on assigning tasks and work. Instead, learning to long for the depth of connection, we can make a paradigm shift from how can I get what I want to how can we get what we want together.
