One of the questions asked most frequently by polyamorous couples is “how do we make polyamory work for us while maintaining our relationship as a couple?” The question is easy; the answer is at once both simple and complex: You don’t!

I have learned that polyamory can be used to dissolve the ego, or enhance it.
