  • How do you live happily together?

“I’ve read more than 50 books on relationships, but I’ve never found one addressing this subject through biology, psychology, culture, and spirituality simultaneously, offering a holistic approach,” says Julie Klotz. She worked for COTE Magazine and now collaborates with INREES* and The World of Religions. Recognising this, the journalist and author approached neuroscientists, psychologists, sexologists, and thinkers. It took a three-year gestation period, but The Four Agreements in Couples was finally published this spring by Editions Fayard. How do you reconcile the need for security with the desire for freedom? Is living as a couple a natural or cultural behaviour? “Romantic marriage, based on spousal love, dates back to the 19th century,” says Julie. She talks in her book about ancient founding myths up to Jungian psychology and explores current couple models, including repeated monogamy and polyamory. “A couple may enable you to be less self-centred, but you must also know how to preserve your autonomy. It’s essential to draw on your resources. That’s how a relationship, this third party that is neither he nor she, is nurtured.”
