To gain a deeper understanding of polygamous relationships, *Briefly News* interviewed **Paula Quinsee**, a certified relationship expert and founder of Engaged Humans. She emphasized the unique dynamics required for such relationships to thrive.
“Polygamy is uncommon and involves different challenges compared to monogamous relationships,” Quinsee explained. “It requires emotional maturity, transparency, and open communication. Setting clear expectations from the start is crucial for maintaining harmony among partners.”
Quinsee also stressed the importance of creating a safe environment where all partners can voice their feelings without fear of judgment. This approach fosters understanding and connection, which are essential for successful polygamous relationships.
