Each week a celebrity guest picks an essay from the </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern Love </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">archive to read. In this episode, Saoirse Ronan who recently starred in </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little Women, </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">brings us a story about love tangled up in translation. While in Syria learning Arabic, American Emily Robbins meets and falls in love with an Iraqi doctor. Their relationship is defined by their struggle to understand one another. Years later, equipped with a better understanding of Arabic, Emily revisits poems the doctor had written for her. Scored by subtle background music and voiced by Ronan’s lush Irish accent, this touching story comes alive in audio, reminding us that our lives are defined by our relationships, past and present.</span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> ***</strong></p>\r\n<a href=\"https://whereshouldwebegin.estherperel.com/episodes/s3-episode-1-young-love\"><b><i>Young Love - Where Should I Begin?</i></b><b> with Esther Perel (Audible)</b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Length:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 51 minutes</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Format:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Single episode</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Year:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2019</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Listen on:</b><a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-love/id1237931798?i=1000453882748\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple Podcasts</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/episode/1JaFLedJc7uEAw4eonurUR\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spotify</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or any other podcast app or streaming service</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Couple’s therapist,</span><a href=\"https://estherperel.com/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Esther Perel</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, invites her listeners into her office as she holds real therapy sessions with real couples. Don’t worry, it’s all above board – the couple’s identities are kept secret and each consent to being recorded. It’s fascinating to be a fly on the wall as couple after couple delve into issues from infidelity and commitment to sex and divorce. She even has a couple of episodes about managing your relationship while in lockdown. In this episode, we hear from a young couple in a long-distance relationship who are weighing up whether to get married to finally be together. All these burdens so early on in the relationship seem to, as Perel puts it, “pit immigration against romance”. It’s a rare vulnerable space to learn from, so drag your partner along to listen with you.</span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>***</strong></p>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.cbc.ca/radio/loveme/the-cat-and-the-whippet-1.4942991\"><b><i>The Cat and the Whippet - Love Me</i></b><b> (CBC)</b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Length:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 28 minutes</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Format:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Single episode</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Year: </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2018</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Listen on:</b><a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cat-and-the-whippet/id1121239439?i=1000426016064\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple Podcasts</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/episode/50U2UvDKSRAQv9AzEuPbSp\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spotify</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><a href=\"https://radiopublic.com/love-me-0G19lG/s1!32394\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Radio Public</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or any other podcast app or streaming service</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for a laugh?

Using sulking as an example, De Botton unpacks the huge pressures that we heap solely on to our romantic relationships, expecting our partners to know everything about us and being bitterly disappointed when they don’t. Simple in presentation, but rich with complexity, </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Being</span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weaves together contemplations on philosophy, religion and civic engagement to tackle some of life’s biggest questions.
