		<description><![CDATA[I caught an interesting summary on Polyamory in the News of five things that make polyamorous relationships work. In the original article, the author (a therapist) describes the five essential components that she believes an open relationship requires in order to succeed. I mention them here because, as I&#8217;ve described in the past, often something [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Knowing if and when to end a relationship is one of the toughest things about relationships. Part of the problem is that every relationship is different, so no amount of relationship advice will apply to each situation (except, perhaps, Plato&#8217;s &#8220;Know thyself&#8221;). We&#8217;re also not exposed to a lot of healthy, realistic models for ending [...]]]></description>

For anyone interested in learning about open relationships &#8211; possibly to practice them, counsel people in them, or understand friends or family in them &#8211; this book offers a helpful overview of [...]]]></description>

Currently, thanks to Newt Gingrich, the spotlight is on open marriage. The concept of open marriages or open relationships is far from new, however. It&#8217;s simply that most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More and more people are identifying as non-monogamous or polyamorous, meaning that they ethically pursue multi-partner relationships. The effect of such relationships upon children, however, is the subject of vigorous debate with potentially harsh consequences. This article reports on some of the studies thus far, both rigorously researched and informally carried out. However, there hasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Compersion&#8221; is a word used in non-monogamous circles that describes the emotion of feeling happy for a lover when they&#8217;re happy, specifically due to interactions with another lover. Sound confusing, or impossible due to jealousy? It doesn&#8217;t have to be. The idea behind compersion is that if you really care about someone, you want them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What, you may ask, is fluid bonding? And why should you care? Fluid bonding frequently comes up in the context of non-monogamous or polyamorous relationships, but it&#8217;s just as important for monogamous folks, because it entails discussion and negotiation of acceptable risks, intimacy, trust, and pleasure. Fluid bonding, at its most basic, is the agreement [...]]]></description>
