Open relationship, polyamory, swinging, friends with benefits... Are these the new faces of 21st century relationships? Or are they simply recipes for relationship disaster? In Love Unlimited we follow the stories of 12 couples and individuals who are grappling with the complexities and challenges of “responsible non-monogamy”.
The Joys and Challenges of Open Relationships
208 pages paperback
Have you ever wondered whether you could share an open loving relationship
with more than one person?
Love Unlimited charts the course of twelve different partnerships as men and women navigate monogamy, polyamory, triads, bisexuality, homosexuality, open marriages and sexual explorations. In each case, Linssen, working as a relationship coach, challenges singles, couples or multiples to honestly identify their expectations, fears, jealousies, and passions in order to find a loving dynamic that works for everyone involved.
Love Unlimited invites you to put aside taboos and ingrained notions of romantic
relationships in order to explore your own ideals and shape your own love life.
The reader will laugh, and maybe cry, but most of all identify. You’ll discover new insights, tools and resources to help you dare to embrace authenticity.
Join the authors as they share the fascinating wisdom found in these stories and in parallel practices from lesser known cultures and ancient texts, and offer respectful, honest options for sustainable partnerships. There are many!
