    I don't want to judge others on how they live their life, it's up to them and God be thier judge. God knows I'm not perfect. But to those of you that are on here relating to the Bible you need to get it out once in awhile and read it before you try to make sense of it. First off, many people did have mulitple partners...in the Old Testament. God did away with the old law, therefore he brought forth the New Law and The Commandments, one of them being" Thou shalt not commit adultry". Hello! I belive adultry to be sleeping with someone other than the one you married. Oh, and then there's Fornication- sleeping with someone else before you are married. Nobody has to abide by them anymore, we just have to "believe" in him and we'll all go to Heaven, doesn't matter what we do between now and then. He made up the laws just for fun.

    Who knows, I could be wrong and God doesn't care about who I sleep with or what I do as long as I'm happy right?

    Sorry if I offend anyone, I just think that ignorance IS NOT bliss and doing whatever you want to make yourself happy now will not pay off later. Scrafices have to be made and lusting after another is one of them. Many of you will hate my comment and will have something contrary or some sly remark, but I'm sorry if the truth hurts.

    I know people that swing and it works for them, I love them and their families, but it doesn't mean I have to agree with them. Their lifestyle is what they choose, and mine is what I make of it. Just please don't use the Bible out of context to justify what you want to do.

    ill be honest, i dont have time to sit and read through all the pages here - but i see no issues with an open marriage. id consider mine semi-open i guess... but there are rules that are always followed.
    what ill never understand is why people think others sex lives are anyones business. do you have nothing better to do than worry about what steve and jane do with bob and nancy on the weekend?

    This thread disgusts me to my very core. Why even get married than? Wives--- you honestly can say you have no issue with your husband staying out all night with another woman? NO. NO NONO!!! Come on... have some self respect for YOURSELF and for your relationship!!!!!

    Close-minded, ignorant people disgust me.

    What gives people the right to call someone close-minded & ignorant just because they don't agree with their opinions/views? That in itself is ignorant.

    An open marriage means the two involved really aren't committed to each other.

    Same wavelength.

    Binary thinking. Why can't I be deeply committed to more than one person? That's like saying I can only love one of my kids.

    That's completely different.

    Why?

    Love between you & your spouse is different to the love you share with your children, do you really need me to spell out why, to you?

    Yes, because you are saying that "love is finite".

    I can be in love with multiple adults. I can love multiple children as their parent. I can love people I just met who have sparkly happy souls and love them for the rest of my life even if I never see them again. I can love X deeply and truly, and love Y deeply and truly, and marry Y because we are more compatible on practical levels. I can live with X and Y and Z and our eight kids and be really damned BUSY! Didn't we figure this out back in the 60's? Love multiplies, there is always enough to go around.

    Love is a giving thing, it is big and deep and wide, and I am very good at it. :D

    Nobody has to abide by them anymore, we just have to "believe" in him and we'll all go to Heaven, doesn't matter what we do between now and then. He made up the laws just for fun.
    That's so wrong, you have to look back on your sin in disgust & repent & then if you're lucky you'll go to Heaven.
    I know people that swing and it works for them, I love them and their families, but it doesn't mean I have to agree with them. Their lifestyle is what they choose, and mine is what I make of it. Just please don't use the Bible out of context to justify what you want to do.

    I agree with this statement though.

    This whole thread is disturbing...we are hear for help with weight loss, if you want to talk of topics like this go to a different site.
    well it IS in the "chit-chat, fun, and games" section. should the whole section be deleted since it almost never has to do with weight loss?

    I think if I see one more "why get married then" response, I may officially give up hope on the human race... :cry:

    I don't understand those responses either.

    I think that come from the fact that, for a lot of people, marriage insinuates 2 people. During my enlistment I went to several marriages all over the country and even 1 in Japan. All of them had a variation of "forsaking all others" in the vows. San Diego, Memphis, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, Orlando and Aboline Tx to name a few. I lived in all these places (except Texas) during my enlistment as well. That's a fairly wide swath of america, so I've met all kinds. The only couples I knew who had multiple partners chose not to get married due to the generally accepted promise to "Foresake all others". I hadn't heard the term "Open marriage" until last year. There are probably a lot of people like me who didn't realize that this philosophy was wide spread.

    "Insinuate" means " to maneuver oneself into a position by subtle manipulation." IS that what you meant to say?

    And just because you never heard of the phrase "open marriage" doesn't make it a new concept. It isn't just common now, it was common, and called "open marriage," when I was growing up in the 1960s.

    An open marriage means the two involved really aren't committed to each other.

    Same wavelength.

    Binary thinking. Why can't I be deeply committed to more than one person? That's like saying I can only love one of my kids.

    That's completely different.

    Why?

    Love between you & your spouse is different to the love you share with your children, do you really need me to spell out why, to you?

    Yes, because you are saying that "love is finite".

    I can be in love with multiple adults. I can love multiple children as their parent. I can love people I just met who have sparkly happy souls and love them for the rest of my life even if I never see them again. I can love X deeply and truly, and love Y deeply and truly, and marry Y because we are more compatible on practical levels.

    .
    Love is a giving thing, it is big and deep and wide, and I am very good at it. :D

    If you love your wife/husband the same way you love a person you just met, then there's something wrong.
    It's a different love altogether.

    Nobody has to abide by them anymore, we just have to "believe" in him and we'll all go to Heaven, doesn't matter what we do between now and then. He made up the laws just for fun.
    That's so wrong, you have to look back on your sin in disgust & repent & then if you're lucky you'll go to Heaven.
    I know people that swing and it works for them, I love them and their families, but it doesn't mean I have to agree with them. Their lifestyle is what they choose, and mine is what I make of it. Just please don't use the Bible out of context to justify what you want to do.

    I agree with this statement though.

    I was just being sarcastic about the first quote. I do believe you have to repent in order to move on too :)
