Gooseberry is a UK magazine about love and relationships, covering dating, communication, sex and heartbreak through real voices and expert perspectives.
What grabbed us about this issue...
Issue 7 takes conflict as its theme and the featured couples are refreshingly honest about the real work of arguing well. We enjoyed the Esther Perel piece on erotic communication alongside the more practical advice. She brings a different kind of authority to the subject than the other contributors. If you’re navigating the shift in a relationship after having children, the feature on sustaining romantic connection after childbirth is worth seeking out. The ethics of ghosting rounds things out with the most unresolved question in an issue that doesn’t shy away from difficult territory.
Who’s Gooseberry for?
Gooseberry is one for when you want to think more carefully about the relationships in your life. Each issue takes a single theme and explores it through real couples, expert voices and personal essays. You can tell this is made by people who believe honest conversation about love is still in short supply. This would suit you if you’re drawn to reading that feels personal without being prescriptive. Think of it as a quarterly prompt to look more closely at how you connect with others. It’s one to reach for when you want something warm, considered and genuinely useful.
