What is an archetype? In very simple terms, it's a "should". As the man, I "should" be the primary breadwinner. As the woman, I "should" cater to my husband's sexual needs. But, are these "should's", these archetypes, really who you are deep down inside? In this episode, we're going to talk about relationship and sexual archetypes.
