Product Description
[Buy this book now only at the iUniverse.com bookstore.]

The close of the 20th century has witnessed the minority status of the traditional family in America. On the threshold of a new millennium, now is an opportune and urgent time to give voice to the intimacies of alternative lifestyles, including open marriage. Traditional monogamy is still the prize for countless adults searching for meaning and love in their lives. That search is honored by myriad religious and societal supports. It is to non-traditionalists, to those ready for new life and love affirmations, that this book is offered with joy.

The evolution of human consciousness prepares the way for the unfolding of our universal polyamorous potential. Let the pioneers be unafraid to move beyond the ancient limits of relationships to the new intimacy of responsible erotic freedom. May the new millennium be the end of pleasure-phobia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Open Marriage, January 4, 2007
At a stage in my life where I thought I was going crazy, this is what I needed. married with children, but not wanting to split my family, I think that open marriage is a great altrnative, and it's great knowing that I'm not alone in this dilema. Only one problem: getting my straying husband to read it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very basic, July 20, 2008
This is a really basic book. So many better ones around. Not worth reading unless you are very isolated.

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated ideas, May 17, 2007
By Michael T. Collins "Mike" (Blue Mounds, WI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The first edition was in 1973. The 2nd was in 2000. It reads like a 1973 hippie idea of marriage.
