Summary

Carrie Jenkins' “Nonmonogamy and Happiness” is a thought-provoking and profound analysis of romantic ideology that critically questions the monogamous norm and presents alternative relationship models as equally valid options. The term “amatonormativity” and the emphasis on “eudaimonic love” invite us to rethink relationship structures beyond romantic and monogamous conventions. Jenkins succeeds in opening up an interdisciplinary discourse that questions and enriches both social norms and individual ideas of happiness.
