Researcher says people fall somewhere along the monogamy spectrum

Last Thursday, our series By Design took on its most intimate project to date, looking at one of the basic ways we design our lives by day and by night, looking at romantic relationships.  While we may still live in a culture that idolizes marriage, and monogamy...  many couples struggle to keep those monogamous relationships vital.  

Our discussion last week received a lot of mail from our listeners. The feedback tended to be quite polarized. Some were upset we were talking about the issue, others felt validated and grateful. 

Lisa Dawn Hamilton does academic research on monogamy and non-monogamy. She is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Mount Allison University and joined us from Sackville, New Brunswick.
