Open Monogamy

A Guide to Co-Creating Your Ideal Relationship Agreement

By: Tammy Nelson PhD

Narrated by: Callie Beaulieu

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.

Great material AND needs a new narrator

Tammy’s book is amazing and informative. The narrator is so terrible, I thought it might be AI. If I could figure out how, I would return the Audible version. I bought the physical copy of the book and intend to stop listening to it

Amazing information regardless of if you are alternative or traditional

I believe this should be read by anyone in a relationship. Regift monogamous or not.

better understanding

It was a good book to understand The guidelines of starting a ploy relationship

People, listen: THIS is the book you need

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.
