Relationship Structure

Updated: MARCH 2, 2020

Relationship structure refers to a set of agreements, rules, and titles that define the framework of a relationship. This term is used most commonly in nonmonogamous and specifically polyamorous relationships. It is commonly recognized that there are many different ways to participate in those relationships. A clearly defined relationship structure where all participants know what is expected of them and what is permitted within the bounds of the relationship is important.
