MARTHA BECK & ROWAN MANGAN: POLYAMORY & THROUPLE LIFE - WCDHT EP 121

In today’s episode – Polyamory & Throuple Life – Martha Beck and Rowan Mangan entrust us with their polyamorous love story.

Martha Beck, Rowan Mangan, Abby, and I talk through:

1. What is Polyamory – and how Martha, Rowan, and Karen make their relationship work.

2. How Martha felt – after years of marriage to Karen – when Karen told her she was in love with Rowan.

3. The hilarious moment Martha, Karen, and Rowan told their friends they were now a throuple.

4. Remarkable lessons for couples based on the ways they deal with conflict, jealousy, and daily rituals to stay close.

Martha and Rowan entrusting their story to us feels deeply personal to me. Because when Abby and I fell in love, and decided we were going to be together, we were scared. We wanted everyone to understand and embrace our relationship–and we feared that maybe many wouldn’t.

So we called Martha Beck for some wisdom. She said a single sentence that changed our lives: “All the two of you ever have to do is love each other out loud.”

We are so honored that these two remarkable women have come to this space to love each other, and Karen, out loud.
