At a stage in my life where I thought I was going crazy, this is what I needed. married with children, but not wanting to split my family, I think that open marriage is a great altrnative, and it's great knowing that I'm not alone in this dilema. Only one problem: getting my straying husband to read it!

AN EARLY BOOK ON OPEN RELATIONSHIPS, Sep 24 2010
By James L. Park "James Leonard Park" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The New Intimacy: Open-Ended Marriage and Alternative Lifestyles (Paperback)
Ronald Mazur
The New Intimacy:
Open-Ended Marriage and Alternative Lifestyles
(Boston: Beacon Press, 1973) 134 pages
A brief but comprehensive book
dealing with all dimensions of open relationships:
varieties of non-traditional relationships; changing social expectations;
relatives, colleagues, & friends; children;
sexual and sensual problems; pregnancy and STDs;
jealousy and possessiveness; communication and honesty;
moral and religious problems; homosexual relationships;
ending relationships; divorce and divorce-reform.
This is a book of theory rather than practice.
The author believed we were about to enter
a new age of "open-ended marriage".
Even tho no major shifts have occurred,
his careful thinking about multiple relationships is still worth reading.

Very basic, July 20 2008

This is a really basic book. So many better ones around. Not worth reading unless you are very isolated.
