Were we crippled from the start, fed with poison from the parts, our community that only embraces a narrow view of humanity, though be it far from their own reality? Were we nurtured on the nipple of insanity?

Have you ever felt that traditional or religious ideas of monogamy are out of date or out of step with the needs of humanity? If the answer is yes, you're not the only one. After watching Showtime’s “The Affair” and Netflix’s Sex Life, I’ve been reflecting on a conversation that began with a group of friends at a dinner party years ago, where one person expressed his belief that the idea of the monogamous relationship is problematic because it assumes that one person can be everything that the other person in the relationship needs. He expressed that to proceed with what he believed to be an impossible dream, would lead to disappointment when one or both of you discover that you can’t meet all of each other’s needs. All of this lead to this episodes conversation with my friend Donte. After being Married with kids for years now he found himself needing to breakout of traditional ideas of what all of that means! I can't wait for you to hear how things have evolved in his relationship with his wife as they both begin a new journey of addressing their emotional, spiritual and sexual needs.
