Finally, a book about open marriage that grapples with the problems surrounding monogamy and fidelity in an honest, heartfelt, and non-fringe manner. Jenny Block is your average girl next door, a suburban wife and mother for whom married life never felt quite right. While many books on this topic presuppose that the listener is ready to embrace an "alternative lifestyle", Block operates from the assumption that most couples who are curious about or engaged in open marriages are in fact more like her - normal people who question whether monogamy is right for them; good people who love their spouses but want variation; capable parents who are not deviant just because they choose to be honest about their desires. Open challenges our notions of what traditional marriage looks like, and presents one woman's journey down an uncertain path that ultimately proves open marriage is a viable option for her and others.

this was my 3rd book on the subject and my favorite by far. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking at opening their marriage or curious about the subject. this particular book resonated with my particular situation. I hope this book helps others the way it has opened my eyes to other alternatives to divorce or just understanding other lifestyle choices. the way it was narrated I thought the book was read by the author.

Very well said

Overall very good audible product. Personally, but would have like a voice rate a bit slower, maybe 90% because 100% felt like it was rushing through and 75% was to slow to listen to.

Very interesting concept for a relationship.
