Psychologist, TED speaker and “Passion” radio host Dr. Laurie Betito stops by the Goldwater home to discuss monogamy and related issues like polyamory, marriage and divorce. Is monogamy sustainable? Is love? Are we stuck in a “mononormative” culture? Can non-monogamy save your relationship or just spectacularly destroy it?
