CNM and monogamous couples do not differ on one of the most common measurements known as the Dyadic Adjustment Scale.

Perhaps most crucially, CNM couples reported happiness levels on par with monogamous couples!

Jealousy is common in CNM relationships, but (and this is important) CNM couples do not report higher rates of jealousy than monogamous relationships!

CNM couples report similar rates of sexual satisfaction as monogamous couples.

Divorce rates for both categories are similar, and the causality of CNM activities to divorce rates has not been established in any study.

Ultimately, this study gives us a very strong buffer against some of the common anti-non-monogamy tropes out there. “It’ll ruin your marriage.” “You don’t love each other.” “You’re not enough for each other.” These claims are simply not represented in the data.
