More Than Two

This is a really excellent book even for monogamists!

I read this one and Opening Up because I have several poly friends and I wanted to understand more. Opening Up focused on all different forms of open relationships. This book, though, focuses specifically on polyamory, having multiple romantic relationships at once.

Because of the focus on intimate, romantic relationships – as opposed to exclusively sexual or swinging – the advice in this book is much more focused and clear cut. Specifically, the discussion around how to communicate with partners, consent, and boundaries is excellent. I'm monogamous and I am excited to apply many of the techniques discussed to my own marriage.

So, I recommend this book even for people who aren't interested in polyamory, but who are simply interested in how to maintain healthy romantic relationships that are high in trust and communication.
