ONLINE: Intentional Relationships: Communication Strategies for Couples

There are ways of talking, making agreements, and looking at attachment styles and arguments that are popularized in discussing non-monogamy that are actually really helpful for dyads of any style. This class is “What can polyamory teach the monogamous?” And it’s about organizing your time together more intentionally, avoiding falling out of balance because of gender roles and relationship escalator stereotypes, nonviolent communication strategies, only truly fighting if it’s a hill you’re willing to die on, and identifying common hiccups in communication caused by mismatched attachment styles that you can work together to build toward relationship security.

PRESENTER:

Laura Boyle is a writer, polyamorist, and educator who has been teaching classes on polyamory, sexuality, boundaries, kink, and the intersection of those on a local level and at conventions since 2018. She is the author of Ready for Polyamory: A Pragmatic Guide to Consensual Non-Monogamy. After more than 15 years in consensually non-monogamous relationships, in polycules that have ranged from temporarily closed Vs to constellations whose shapes are increasingly indescribable depending on which relationships folks consider worth including, she loves to share practical information learned from years of fixing her own mistakes and missteps.
