A '''{{lang|fr|ménage à trois}}''' ({{IPA-fr|menaʒ a tʁwɑ|lang}}) is a domestic arrangement and [[committed relationship]] with three people in [[polyamorous]] [[romance (love)|romantic]] or [[Human sexual activity|sexual relations]] with each other, and often dwelling together; typically a traditional marriage between a man and woman along with another individual.<ref name="Daily 2022">{{cite web | last=Daily | first=Katelyn Grganto The | title=The magic of ménage à trois | website=The Daily of the University of Washington | date=March 8, 2022 | url=https://www.dailyuw.com/arts_and_culture/the-magic-of-m-nage-trois/article_6b46494e-4ba7-11ea-a945-bb73b61cb023.html | access-date=March 9, 2022}}</ref><ref name="Futurescopes 2012">{{cite web | title=The Various Types of Non-Monogamy | website=Futurescopes | date=March 12, 2012 | url=https://futurescopes.com/non-monogamy/types-non-monogamy/387/various-types-non-monogamy | access-date=March 9, 2022}}</ref><ref name="Reed 2017">{{cite web | last=Reed | first=Rex | title='Professor Marston' Tells the True Story of a Kinky Threesome | website=Observer | date=October 23, 2017 | url=https://observer.com/2017/10/professor-marston-and-the-wonder-women-movie-review/ | access-date=March 9, 2022}}</ref> The phrase is a [[Loanword|loan]] from [[French language|French]] meaning "[[household]] of three".

==Terminology==
This relationship type has elements of [[bisexual]]ity involved, but usually at least one of the participants is [[heterosexual]].<ref name="Encyclopedia.com 2022">{{cite web | title=Ménage à Trois | website=Encyclopedia.com | date=February 28, 2022 | url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/social-sciences/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/menage-trois | access-date=March 19, 2022}}</ref> Because this term is sometimes interchangeably used for a [[threesome]], which solely refers to a sexual experience involving three people, it can sometimes be misrepresented as some type of perversion or casual encounter.<ref name="Publishing 2009 p. 138">{{cite book | last=Publishing | first=B. | title=Faux Pas?: A No-Nonsense Guide to Words and Phrases from Other Languages | publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing | year=2009 | isbn=978-1-4081-0348-7 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aoSxAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA138 | access-date=March 19, 2022 | page=138}}</ref> However, the ''ménage à trois'' is a specific type of committed relationship, in which vows are often made. It doesn't apply to all polyamorous relationships with three individuals, since polyamory can have many different forms.
