About this listen
A practical guide for creating nontraditional relationship agreements that work - from a certified sex therapist and relationships expert.
Love is eternal - but our concepts of relationships and marriage evolve to fit the times. In an age when we live longer, communicate differently, and value gender equality, is it any wonder so many people are looking for new ways to support lasting, loving partnerships? "Monogamy is no longer a simple concept," says Dr. Tammy Nelson. "More couples every year are experimenting with open relationships and newer, more flexible versions of commitment...yet few of us have been prepared with the skills we need to make those agreements work."
Open Monogamy is Dr. Nelson's guidebook for couples who wish to explore new directions in their relationships - to bring in excitement, variety, and fresh experiences without sacrificing trust, security, and respect. In this practical, skill-based book, she helps you find your place on the "monogamy continuum"; have honest conversations about attraction and desire; remove shame and suspicion from an open relationship; and create agreements - traditional or otherwise - that are fulfilling, exhilarating, and built for enduring love.

Story
As polyamory continues to make its way into the mainstream, more and more people are exploring consensual nonmonogamy in the hope of experiencing more love, connection, sex, freedom and support. While for many, the move expands personal horizons, for others, the transition can be challenging, leaving them blindsided and overwhelmed. Beyond the initial transition to nonmonogamy, many struggle with the root issues beneath the symptoms of broken agreements, communication challenges, increased fighting and persistent jealousy.

After infidelity, relationships can become strained as both partners lose trust and faith in each other. Author Tammy Nelson helps couples regain trust, romance, and intimacy after infidelity by redefining the monogamy contract. The new monogamy contract is an explicit relationship agreement created after the affair that allows each partner to safely share their desires, expectations, and limitations. After an affair, it's impossible to go back to the way the relationship was before, but this book offers the chance for a new beginning.

An affair: It can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. And yet this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. Adultery has existed since marriage was invented, and so, too, the prohibition against it - in fact it has a tenacity that marriage can only envy. Iconic couples' therapist and best-selling author of Mating in Captivity Esther Perel returns with a groundbreaking and provocative look at infidelity, arguing for a more nuanced and less judgmental conversation about our transgressions.

That is, until Emily Nagoski’s Come As You Are, which used groundbreaking science and research to prove that the most important factor in creating and sustaining a sex life filled with confidence and joy is not what the parts are or how they’re organized but how you feel about them.

Since Darwin's day, we've been told that sexual monogamy comes naturally to our species. Mainstream science - as well as religious and cultural institutions - has maintained that men and women evolved in families in which a man's possessions and protection were exchanged for a woman's fertility and fidelity. But this narrative is collapsing....

Story
Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personality - the “other,” the shadow side - is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses - our “existential kink.” Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that we’re undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power.

Marriage is wonderful. You meet the right person that you never want to be without, and you vow to spend the rest of your life with them. It can seem like sunshine and roses, but then reality hits. You start to realize you are both different people, and as such, you may have disagreements. Maybe you both have very busy jobs that keep you apart for longer than you’d like. Suddenly you’re a few years in, and it’s like you’re married to a very different person. But are they really all that different, or has the new worn off of the relationship?

“Can you love more than one person?” A lot of conversations about nonmonogamy start this way. When we discuss “opening” relationships, contemplate whether we want to be exclusive with our partners, or introduce multiple partners to friends and family, we are asking the people in our lives, and ourselves, to contend with this question. The answer is obvious, and misleading. More Than Two can’t promise outcomes, but it is a guide to the paths―from anchor or nesting partnerships to relationship anarchy―possible within nonmonogamy

Too often, the neurodivergent community is marginalized, de-sexualized or patronized. Neurodivergent people are often not seen as part of the romantic or sexual landscape, let alone as people who can have multiple partners. However, the fact that neurodivergent people do not see the world or operate within it as other people do can make nonmonogamy both uniquely challenging and uniquely well-suited to them. This book is for neurodivergent people considering or practicing nonmonogamy.

I've read a half a dozen books related to ethical non-monogamy and poly lifestyles, but this one hit all the right spots. The author even delves into what drives people into wanting what they want and provides relatable interviews with couples in various points in their relationships.
Overall great author and amazing read that went in depth where some other books seemed to just scratch the surface.

A clear and concise look at non-monogamy
One of the best books I’ve listened to on the subject. The author, while covering a lot of familiar ground, offers new insights and perspectives.

Really good guide
Don't be discouraged if the narrator's voice sounds like a robot at first, after a few minutes it becomes normal and you start enyoing the audiobook's content. It is really good and get's you to think and try to work on your relationship and be more empathetic with your spouse or partner. I really recommend it if you're looking to understand more about a new type of Monogamy and undestand that you can constantly update your relationship agreements so you can live a happy and fulfilling life.

Very eye-opening and informative.
Highly Recommend for anyone even considering opening their relationship/marriage. Gave me some new perspective and made me not feel like I'm going crazy.
