In the Friday episode of Dr. Phil Primetime, airing at 8:00 pm on Merit Street Media, Dr. Phil meets a throuple comprised of husband and wife, Jennifer and Daniel, and Jennifer’s boyfriend, Ty. This unconventional family unit raises Daniel and Jennifer’s two children together, and each member of the trio also has partners outside of their throuple arrangement.
The episode explores the rising trend of ethical non-monogamy and the increasing number of people embracing polyamorous relationships. Dr. Phil engages in a discussion with polyamory expert, Dr. Eli Sheff, and relationship expert, Devon Still, to understand the motivations and potential benefits of this lifestyle choice.
Dr. Sheff argues that polyamory can provide more resources and support for raising children and offers greater freedom and flexibility for the parents involved. In contrast, Devon Still expresses a differing viewpoint, stating that polyamory is unnatural and can have detrimental effects on all individuals involved, especially the children.
