Esther Perel On Infidelity 

You hear Esther Perel say: “Affairs are not always about a lack of love—they can be about a lack of self.” It’s insightful. It makes you think.

• Cheating has roots: disconnection, deadness, identity crises.
• Couples who want to rebuild need to understand those roots.

But for Black partners already blamed for everything, nuance can become gaslighting if you’re not careful. We must still say:

• Cheating is a breach of covenant.
• You are allowed to leave.
• Empathy cannot erase accountability.

In the Relationship Readiness Masterclass, we put empathy and accountability in the same room. In the Matchmaking Readiness Audit, we look at how you vet for integrity. Inside the 1,000 Couples Challenge, we champion couples whose “aliveness” doesn’t require betrayal.
