Marriage Family Relationships

Among consenting adults, family should be a matter of choice and the configuration thereof should be the choice of the family members. There are between 50,000 and 100,000 families in the U.S. living in polygamy today. Recently, these numbers began to climb rapidly as certain Christian, Islamic, and secular groups seek ways to live according to their convictions, in spite of federal and state laws. The growth is accelerating at a surprising rate. Yet, there are few resources and little information to help those seeking happiness in this way of life. This book is a primer for those wishing to seek fulfillment outside the confines of monogamy. As people search for and find their own happiness, the population practicing polygamy will soon grow large enough to have a voice loud enough to change the laws of the land from within. Polygamy may be the next movement in the search for individual freedom and happiness.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Bărbaţii şi femeile funcţionează diferit — acesta este un lucru ştiut deja de toată lumea. Ce nu se ştie încă este cum pot fi respectate aceste diferenţe, ba chiar transformate în atuuri. Femeile sunt stresate de cumpărături, dar bărbaţii se descurcă foarte bine dacă sunt înarmaţi cu o listă detaliată. Femeile nu spun exact ce vor să facă bărbaţii, iar aceştia nu înţeleg limbajul indirect al partenerelor lor.
