Book Description
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.

Using empirical information based in academic research, this blog explores the issues facing polyamorous relationships and families. It covers topics as diverse as sexuality to parenting, jealousy to coming out to families of origin, and employment and housing discrimination to online dating.
Sex education is very important for students, it should be given in colleges and school
Agreed! Many different studies have shown that abstinence only sex education — which is what most schools are forced to provide if they provide anything at all — is a complete disaster and absolutely ineffective at keeping young people from having sex or spreading sexually transmitted infections or unwanted pregnancies. What they are successful at is spreading misinformation, confusion, and shame. The Unitarian Universalists provide some fantastic sex education for young folks, though, so go them!
