depends on what you mean by "meet." It is inevetable to "meet" new people unless you are locked in a cage. It all depends on what your actions and intentions are with the people you meet. I think the answer to this one is obvious anyway. Married means no new relations (outside of professional) with the opposite sex. Period.

First off , why would you give your # to a total stranger you meet at the mall. Second, you are married. Friendship is ok, but usually we meet others through others, not strangers at the mall looking for our #'s. Weird!

Sure, if you're not doing it to find trouble, but the way you are asking, sounds like you're spouse is telling you NO. I think if you're looking for new freinds, it could be good for both of you.everyone needs to have people that they can talk to, but a spouse will not always be able to tell you what you need, if the problem is in the relationship.
But looking for new friends can sometimes cause problems because the other person feels like they should be enough for you, but everyone needs friends. I also believe it depends on where you are going to find these new people. if you're hanging out in night clubs, and or bars, thats not going to work.
can't really give you ideas, with such little info. but i do wish you luck!!

What would be your reason for meeting new people? Meeting new couples to have as friends is cool, but meeting new men..no. No matter what your "intentions" may be, most men will see you as being unhappily married or at least desiring a fling outside your marriage. If there is something your husband is lacking on, that's something the two of you need to talk about.

Are you going to live a vacuum?
You can't help, but meet new people. However, if you meet someone and right away your are thinking you want this person naked and sweaty then I think you need to walk the other way.
I meet single parents all the time. My daughter just happens to be friends with their children. I or my wife visits with them of course there are some single mothers my wife does not want me talking to, but I respect that (and think its a little funny).

It is inevitable that you will meet new people when you are married. You will meet them as a married person and one would hope that both the individuals you meet & yourself acknowledge and respect the marriage. Boundaires are usually drawn early in most relationships. When it comes to meeting new people of the opposite sex both you & your spouse should act appropriately at all times.In other words act as if your spouse were standing right beside you at all times.It's called honoring and respecting the marriage!

I think its always great to meet new people as long as you are honest about it to your spouse and take their feelings into account. and honest with the person you are forming this friendship with. I also believe that it is beneficial to try to form these relationships with married couples or at least people in a relationship or definitely those who respect your marriage.

I think yes, only if don't have any insecurities about your actual relationship, feel happy with you husband/wife and really love her/him, 'cause if you don't really really love him/her, you could end up falling in love with this *new* friend, or just cheating on her/him and hurting your partner feelings, first be sure about you feelings, act like a serious person at all times, only then you can open your mind to new persons and enjoy your life, share with you partner this new people you meet and be happy, everything is about loving you partner, if it's for real, you would never hurt him/her.

No it's not OK to meet new people if you are married. God made you two to be friends and all. There's no need to have any other Friend. You ask this question because you desire to meet others instead of being with your spouse. You know better and you need to rethink your decisions if you have already done this deed. God bless you.

I think you should discuss this with your spouse and see how they feel first. If a guy came up to me in the mall and asked for my number I would not give it to him because the only man that should be in my life is my husband.
