## Description

Can you love more than one person? Have multiple romantic partners, without jealousy or cheating? Absolutely! Polyamorous people have been paving the way, through trial and painful error. Now the new book More Than Two can help you find your own way. With completely new material and a fresh approach, Franklin Veaux and Eve Rickert wrote More Than Two to expand on and update the themes and ideas in the wildly popular polyamory website morethantwo.com. From Ancient Greece through the many dynasties of China to current practices of non-monogamy, people have openly engaged in multiple intimate relationships. Not until the late 20th century, however, was a word coined that encapsulated the practice, as well as its philosophies, edicts and ethics: polyamory (poly = many + amore = love). For Franklin Veaux, who has been polyamorous for his entire adult life, the emerging framework and subsequent vocabulary for his lifestyle was a light in the dark. Candidly sharing his experiences and thoughts online catapulted his website morethantwo.com, among the first dedicated to the poly lifestyle, to one of the top-ranking on the subject. In recent years, as more people have discovered polyamory as a legitimate and desirable option for how they conduct their relationships, Franklin and one of his partners, Eve Rickert, saw that there was a growing need for a comprehensive guide to the lifestyle. More Than Two is that guide. This wide-ranging resource explores the often-complex world of living polyamorously: the nuances (no, this isn't swinging), the relationship options (do you suit a V, an N, an open network?), the myths (don't count on wild orgies and endless sex but don't rule them out either!) and the expectations (communication, transparency and trust are paramount). More Than Two is entirely without judgment and peppered with a good dose of humor. In it the authors share not only their hard-won philosophies about polyamory, but also their hurts and embarrassments. Living poly is not always an easy road, and they hope that by reading this book, you'll avoid some of the mistakes they've made along the way. Challenging the notion of what society considers a healthy and successful relationship, they offer up personal stories from their own lives as well as of those in the wider poly world, emphasizing that this lifestyle choice isn't for the noncommittal. Polyamory is all about the relationships and the individuals participating. Charting a Relationship Bill of Rights, the authors underscore the importance of engaging in ethical polyamory and guide readers through the thorny issues of jealousy and insecurity with the aim of encouraging readers to work consistently and conscientiously on both their relationships and themselves. And no, they're not trying to convert you: they know that polyamory isn't for everyone. Veaux and Rickert simply provide those who might be embarking on this lifestyle or those who have always known they are poly with a set of tools and many questions to help them make informed decisions and set them on a path to enjoying multiple happy, strong, enriching relationships. More Than Two is the book the polyamory community has been waiting for. And who knows? It may just be the book you didn't even know you were waiting for.

Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Life-Changing Read — Even Beyond Polyamory - This book has completely changed the way I look at all relationships (not just my partners) and communication. While More Than Two is written in the context of polyamory, the lessons go so much deeper. It’s really about how to communicate honestly, handle emotions with care, and show up better for the people in your life. Since reading it, I’ve noticed a huge shift in how I interact with friends, family, coworkers, partners, and even strangers—it’s made every connection in my life stronger and more intentional. What I love most is how real and practical the authors are, they manage to slow me and my busy chaotic life down long enough to thoroughly understand ALL types of people and understand the importance of showing those people genuine interest. They don’t just talk about the good parts—they share mistakes, struggles, and lessons learned in a way that feels so human and very relatable. It’s not preachy or pushy, just incredibly thoughtful and eye-opening. Even if you’re not interested in polyamory, I can’t recommend this book enough. If you care about personal growth, better communication, and building healthier relationships of any kind, this book is worth every page.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life Changing!
*by S***C on July 31, 2017*

More than two review: Thousands of questions I never would have thought to ask about myself or others! Incredible. I have finally set healthy boundaries for myself after 10 years of trying to figure it out! I just finished it in 5 days, and to be honest I'm disappointed that it's over! I liked the kindle version since it lets me highlight, copy, and paste making my note taking and self discovery super simple! Someone in our group asked about its appropriateness for teens: my response is this: Well. That depends. The book is excellent as far as relationships of all kinds go!!! It's not overly sexual or explicit at all, very tasteful. It is of course, designed to explain the how tos of poly living, but also discusses monogamy, comparing the two often without coercion. It's much more focused on in depth discussions of how to/how it to have healthy relationships with yourself and others than on sex. It focuses on compassion and integrity. I come from a very Christian back ground, I love my Jesus! But this book goes over love in ways that I have never learned and feel are highly intelligent and accurate as far as how to love yourself, and others! You could absolutley read it yourself as a way to gain some amazing insights on teaching kids about healthy love, and for older teens, I feel that it is absolutely appropriate and educational in ways that are thought provoking and prompt personal growth in countless positive ways, including information regarding making personal choices that affect sexual health and safety.
