About halfway through their 24-year marriage, Molly Roden Winter and her husband, Stewart, decided to date other people. Their marriage became open. Winter recounts the personal story in her new memoir, “More: A Memoir of Open Marriage.”
Rana Foroohar reviewed “More” for Financial Times:
Winter’s personal experience is one example of a much broader trend. Americans are increasingly open to consensual non-monogamy and other ways marriage can break from tradition, including shifting gender roles and living separately.
It’s all part of a phenomenon described by social psychologist Eli Finkel in The New York Times.
We explore our shifting understanding of marriage and how Americans are right-fitting the institution into their own lives.
