Open Marriage

What is meant by 'Open Marriage?

I do, tends to make things easier. I wouldn't consider my marriage a complete "open" marriage, but its pretty darn close.

I dont agree with it because I believe that marriage is all about devoting your love and heart to one person! I feel that if someone is truely in love with their spouse they wouldnt WANT to be with anyone else! I also couldnt handle my spouse being with other women! That would be too much for me to handle. I think open marriages are a way for people to "have their cake and eat it, too". What is the point of getting married if you are going to be with other people?

I couldn't have an open marriage. You should just be single then do whatever you want. Even if it's an open marriage I believe that feelings and emotions are still involved and arguments will occur still. I would never consent to an open marriage nor would my husband. Does your friend like his/her open marriage?

No, I don't agree with open marriages. Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of getting married in the first place? I might as well stay single if I cannot be commited to one person.

who are we to judge others likes and dislikes, each one to their own way of thinking and doing and god for all

never

I think that some people think this is the ultimate trust and that it will strengthen there relationship. I think it makes the relationship less than a warm loving family one. Adultery and Fornication are Sins for christians and will destroy family as they have throughout history

what is an open marriage.heard the term first time

I accept ur questions.

i think if two person raedy for it then who we are to say any thing. well if my partner will ready for it then i dont havany problem.

It depends on the type of people you are. I currently have an open relationship with my boyfriend and when I do get married, I plan to have an open marriage. It is less stressful for me, since I don't have to worry if my boyfriend is cheating with me. And I have been dating him for three years. But the thing is that we both are very honest with each other. Some people would not be able to have any form of an open relationship, marriage or not, since they could get jealous real easily. But, hey, each to their own.

yeah i don't like it too lol. it's not good.

If both partner agree before getting married, they is there lifestyle than thats ok for them. Technically, i don't see why they need to get married in order to swing. Doesn't make since.

I know a few with an open marriage...some have rules some don't. i guess it is rally up to to what you are comfortable with...I think it also takes a lot of maturity to avoid any jealousy issues.

I would definatly not like that, I don't think you should be with anyone else, after all you took vows to honor your spouse.

No, I could not be in an open relationship. I am too jealous of a person. In the back of my mind I would always be wondering if he really preferred the other person over me. It would be a jealous power struggle. Sounds like it would be an ugly situation. Whoever opts for this type of relationship, has to be either extremely self confident or severely desperate to have anyone that would accept them.

some people have open marriages but in a very limited and closed group.like 3 or 4 married couples.they enjoy a lot too.go to movie together,go onto a picnic,get together in their respective homes and even sharing bed together all of then in night.these thing happen but very few are able to manage it smoothly.but those who can manage no doubt enjoy much.it depend on individual.why should I be judgemental.i am not a judge.

It is not accepted buy the society in India. We have one for one policy. This open marriage system definitely makes culture deterioration and leads to collapse everything.

I think that if both people are okay with it that there is nothing wrong with it. It can be rewarding for some. I don't think an open marrige is for every one. But I can imagine that it could be fun.
