How do you feel about open marriages .... ?? Good or bad and why?!

Speaking as half of a long-term relationship that has tried it several times, I would say:
Most couples should probably steer clear. They are not strong enough to sustain the challenge and the possible damage.
It's like prospecting for gold.
If you're not out there doing it, you find nothing.
But you CAN find some rich nuggets.
But....you're gonna pan a LOT OF DIRT.
Does that help you?
You might experience some of the most powerful and exciting sex of your entire life.
Or not.

A open marriage can be OK. I feel if two people are going to have a open marriage, I hope that they experience a open relationships first for they can get a feel of it. A open marriage you really have to have a open mind. It's not for every one. If you go this round you better know what your doing. There are web sites about things like this. I know on the Tara banks show she had people on there and they were in open marriages.Maybe you can start from there and maybe they have a web site you can get from there.

Open marriage can create some really hot times, and get to know your partner on a whole new level. There has to be alot of trust and also of communications. And both parties have to have the same respect for each other. Usually couples who have been married for a long time want to add some spice to their lives, and as long as both agree I believe it is their business and not anyone else's to judge, but that's is just my opinion. I'm very open minded and so is my husband.

Bad. Marriage is about two people who have decided to make a life together. It takes maturity, respect, communication and lots of hard work. Open marriages are situations created by the immature people of this world. Marriage is supposed to create an environment that is safe and secure. How can you be secure when your spouse is free to see other people? And how can ou be safe if you don't know who he/she is seeing and what precautions are being taken to protect against STDs? I am a firm believer in the sanctity of marriage.

Human Beings often find monogomy hard to achieve. some cheat.. some fantasize.. and some just live happily. Some don't wanna cheat, don't wanna leave thier partner, but just can't stop desiring others. so.. they swing! its for those who can't live the life style they chose (marriage, or stable relationship). It leads to divorce.. and Cheating!! you agree first on just having sex, not getting emotionally involved, or not meeting the 3rd party unless you both agree, etc.. but later one one of you breaks the deal and things get too far, then the other is so mad cause he was the one who let this happen.. by Blessing the one night stand, or 'friendhsip' with the 3rd person.. and then feel backstabbed. if you like to have sex with another man, spend time together, then you are bound to develop something more.. and by time feel more attached and emotionally involved, specially that you will find the thrill of the new that you don't have anymore with ur hubby, even if sex is still great and so. after all..its a personal choice.

Well, lets see. I would like a job where they pay me but I dont have to obey any of the rules. Infact, I could even work for a competitor while on the first companies payroll.
Are you serious? How old are you? Do you really need to ask the question or are you just looking for approval and to get enough answers that you like and that let you do what you want?
Take the time you would spend screwing others and maybe grow a brain stem.

BAD IDEA.. I have known people who had open marriages. One is now getting divorced and the other is on the rocks.
Why even get married if you don't want the commitment?.
Is this HIS idea.??..then he has no respect for the vows and is looking for a way to have his cake and eat it to.

Bad idea...Fast lane to divorce..
Only one thing will work along these lines..
A 3some with another woman..
Wife only / always invites other woman..
Husband never contacts other woman outside the bedroom.
Never ever share bed with another couple or man...
Open marriage will lead only to divorce.

Well what smooth talker convinced you of this? Or are you so needy you need this guy--or girl--or whatever. Marriage is for 2 in love and reserved for those who have respect for each other. It is not going to be pretty when one of you come home with the big drip, or aids, or hepititus B---My guess is you are a kid---go read a book about fidelity and love---it is not to be spread around---it is for 2 only---
