Positive Thinking: The Case for Polyamory

The Case for Polyamory

BBC Radio 4 - Positive Thinking, The Case for Polyamory

Could polyamory be the way of the future?

Sangita Myska asks whether monogamy is the best way to have a relationship over the course of a lifetime.

For many Millennials and much of Gen Z, polyamory is becoming more common. With all of us living longer than ever, Sangita Myska asks: is polyamory an alternative relationship model fit for the 21st Century?

There’s even an app for it. Ana Kirova, CEO of Feeld, is using tech to help challenge the idea that we should follow the formula we've all been taught: meet one person, settle down and live happily ever after.

Our expert panel:
Dr Pam Spurr, Psychologist and relationship expert. 
Anita Cassidy who, when she was 38 and married with two children, embraced a polyamorous lifestyle.  She's a life coach and founder of the relationship website Alethya.
Andrew G. Marshall, author and leading marital therapist and host of the Meaningful Life podcast.
