Love and intimacy are almost always associated with an exclusive relationship with a member of the opposite sex.

For many, this is the usual way to begin. When that sense of fulfilment fades, we often seek a partner to provide love, excitement, and, hopefully, completeness.

After all, this is the kind of love celebrated in songs, poems, novels, and romantic comedies. By pursuing it, we fulfill our ‘biological imperative’—having children and repopulating the planet.

Of course, there is much to learn about how to cultivate this kind of love for positive outcomes, and we explore that in this section.

However, love and intimacy extend far beyond traditional relationships—especially as we move into midlife.
