Abstract

Maurice Taylor and his wife Seana McGee speak about their book, The New Couple, which is based on the new relationship laws of the 21^st century, termed Ten New Laws of Love. They believe that the “traditional marriage” has become obsolete. The couple speaks of monogamy, jealously and love in the modern world.   They believe that sexual experimentation has been explored and, in their opinion, it simply does not work.  What works, according to the couple, is monogamy and having an emotional safe zone.  They claim they take no moral standpoint on polygamy, but simply that monogamy is needed for a healthy relationship.  For someone who has a fear of intimacy, fear of abandonment, or sexual compulsivity   the couple believes that having multiple partners is perfectly normal and fine, but that individual will not be emotionally fulfilled until they enter a monogamous relationship. Maurice and Seana conduct many interviews and seminars to help couples take their relationships to the next level and to help singles find what they are looking for.
