The Role Non-Monogamy Will Play in the Future of Marriage

The Role Non-Monogamy Will Play in the Future of Marriage - Rachel R. White - Life - The Atlantic: Is marriage on the way out? "Forty percent of Americans think that marriage is 'becoming obsolete,' and 50 percent of younger Americans believe this, according to 2010 Pew research. I think that marriage is in a brainstorming phase. It's trying to find its footing in the new realities of the 21st century. It seems to me that we still believe in marriage -- we still want to give it a try -- but the reality is, we don't always do it according to spec. We're improvising.

"The bottom line is that I think both arrangements are challenging. It's challenging to have a non-monogamous, committed relationship; it's challenging to have a monogamous, committed relationship. Forever is a long time. It pays to be flexible."
