Most urban couples today\n experience some amount of chaos in their interpersonal relationships— whether\n it be in the struggle to keep the erotic spark alive, trying to balance\n between the need for intimacy and personal space or in handling the new-age\n demon called boredom! Long-established patterns of married life are breaking\n down in a new India where gender equality and individualism have blurred the\n domestic division of labour and leadership, often resulting in ego clashes\n between partners. Technological advancements such as birth control, IVF,\n paternity tests etc., open up options but bring along accompanying\n complications. It is the same with the Internet and social media. Old rules\n of couple relationship—both explicit and implicit—do not fit well anymore;\n new rules are still not in place. In such a scenario, this book seeks to\n understand the little equations that go to make up a long-term relationship,\n thereby throwing light on the steps that, if not well managed, lead to chaos\n for both partners. Some of the questions addressed here are: Why do we feel\n the need to guard our partner’s sexuality? Why does boredom set in, in most\n long-term relationships? Why do affairs begin and is it really about sex or\n love at all? And many more such, that deal with the nitty-gritty of\n day-to-day sharing of the physical, emotional and sexual space between\n couples. By the end of this book, you may just revisit all that you have been\n taking for granted!
