Couples under lockdown: Bavaria, Germany

Esther Perel • April 2, 2020

For the last year they have lived in separate countries. She took a dream job closer to where she grew up in Germany and he stayed behind with the promise he would follow soon. Six months turned into a year, which turned into a conversation that questioned the foundation of their marriage. It took the coronavirus to get them back under one roof again. While others might complain about the close quarters, this couple hopes to find themselves in each other again. Esther Perel pushes them to worry less about the love that was, and focus now on the love that is.
