Monogamy is not the only model for relationships from "summary" of The State of Affairs by Esther Perel

In our society, we often operate under the assumption that monogamy is the be-all and end-all of relationships. However, this belief fails to acknowledge the diversity of human experiences and desires when it comes to love and connection. The truth is, there are many different models for relationships that can be just as fulfilling and meaningful as monogamy. Some people thrive in open relationships, where they are free to explore connections with multiple partners. Others find solace in polyamorous arrangements, where the focus is on building intimate bonds with more than one person. These alternative models challenge the traditional narrative of monogamy as the only path to happiness in relationships. They offer a new perspective on love and commitment, one that is more fluid and adaptable to the complexities of human emotions. By recognizing that monogamy is not the only model for relationships, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities in how we can experience and express love. This understanding allows us to break free from the confines of societal norms and forge our own paths towards fulfillment and happiness in our relationships.
