Could polyamory be the answer to decrease divorce and increase the strength of a relationship? Which is better in terms of relationship longevity, happiness, health, sexual satisfaction, or emotional intimacy: monogamy or polyamory?  Do children raised in non-monogamous families do as well in health and achievement as children in monogamous families?

Dr. Deborah Taj Anapol is known as an explorer of the spaces where love, sex, spirit, and sustainability meet. She is also recognized as the moving force behind the modern Polyamory Movement which was launched with the 1992 publication of her book Love Without Limits.

Dr. Elisabeth Sheff is the author of The Polyamorists Next Door, a blog featured on Psychology Today. Marriage and monogamy are not what they used to be, and today many couples are opting to start families before getting married, or deciding not to get married at all. At the same time, gay couples in states that recognize same-sex marriage are getting married in droves. Some people prefer non-monogamy and have relationships that include swinging and polyamory. The landscape of American marriage and relationships is changing, and a variety of family systems are developing and becoming more common.
