The authors indicate that although monogamy is still the most prevalent romantic relationship arrangement, little study has been done on how couples communicate about exclusivity. The present research looked at how couples talk about and negotiate exclusivity agreements, as well as how such agreements develop over time. Inductive content analysis was used to identify eight major themes from open-ended data. The text is relevant, and agreements were more often characterized as implicit implying that they had never been addressed in detail. The importance of clear communication between spouses concerning exclusivity and infidelity is presented as one example of the implications. The article can be very resourceful when determining the communication between couples in monogamous relationships.

The authors indicate that when the COVID-19 pandemic struck the United States in 2020, 29 cisgender women and gender minorities were interviewed, focus groups were convened, and friendship pods were established to investigate how people perceived, discussed, and maintained their personal connections throughout the pandemic. The article is relevant and informative as scripted intimacy is a normative relationship pattern that symbolizes heterosexual life script and co-created intimacy, which legitimized and questioned existing relational scripts by establishing new conceptions of what intimacy, may look like. Sub-themes that came up throughout the debate were stability vs. development, pain vs. comfort, and physical danger vs. relationship risk. The findings have repercussions and hint to new avenues of inquiry that can help me in getting more information concerning communication for monogamous relationship.
