Author Description

“Honey, we have to talk… I'm in love with someone else." Your life won’t be the same after hearing those words. NOT EVER. Right now? Yes, it might seem like your worst nightmare coming true, BUT it might just be the best thing that ever happened! This is exactly what Marriage and Beyond is all about: Helping married couples, and anyone curious about ethical non-monogamy, successfully navigate its challenges (and delights!) to enjoy more confidence, trust, and freedom. Dr. Axel Blumenberg took that journey. He learned his lessons the hard way—by trial and error—accompanied by a lot of headaches and heartaches! From being on the brink of divorce after an “affair", to now thriving in more than one fulfilling relationship, and having the time of his life, he has been there and come out the other side. But, this was not by chance... There were crucial discoveries along the way that made this alchemical transformation possible. The author’s quest included countless books, expert interviews, whisky-fueled conversations shrouded in cigarette smoke in dark BDSM dungeons, elegant swinger clubs, and the taste of exquisite pain on the tatami mat through martial arts training. The result? This practical, field-proven framework of four basic steps that you can apply to build a rock-solid open marriage, explore polyamory, or engage in any other form of ethical non-monogamy. Marriage and Beyond also contains the combined wisdom of a dream team of experts and mentors in your hands, featuring interviews with: Kitty Chambliss, author, coach, and founder of Loving Without Boundaries Jessica Fern, author, coach, and psychotherapist Shai Fishman, co-founder of LeveledUpLove.com/VIP Jenny Hale, psychologist, coach, trainer, and mentor Leah Marshall, founder, and facilitator of the Esther Perel Discussion Group on Facebook Paulita Pappel, founder of Lustery.com, fil
