“No one I have ever talked to has denied the veracity of this old French proverb,” Michael Lukas Moeller once said. But we often find this sense of freedom intimidating. Two people setting each other free while still placing trust in their bond? Many of us feel too insecure to let this happen and are more comfortable interpreting a bond to mean mutual ownership, which in only a short time can stifle love. Most don’t realise that freedom is not synonymous with non-committal. That freedom can deepen a bond sounds implausible, yet we all know that genuine feelings can’t be forced. But what exactly is this art of creating a ‘free bond’? How can freedom and commitment be reconciled? This book shows how couples can, in a committed and trusting way, negotiate the mutual freedoms that are essential for love to grow.
