I am not talking about sex here. I repeat! I am not talking about sex here. Open minded people are people who are not afraid to try out new things, new experiences and new challenges in life in general. Closed Minded people are people who don't care at all to experience and see new things in life---- they are pretty much comfortable where their at, living a simple life.
Thanks guys for your honest answers.

I think most people are afraid of change, but change is good for you, right? There are just some people who are more content in their little world as it exists than are others. You might be with one of those people. However, if you really REALLY want something to change, try talking to him/her about it and see if they are willing to go along with something new once in awhile. See what their limit is. Skydiving might be too much, but going on a vacation might be just the right thing that would bring enough change that he/she could deal with.

Understanding
The best way to understand irrational behavior on the part of your spouse is to read and understand the three divorces, and pay particularly close attention to the emotional divorce. It's typical for both spouses in divorce to behave in ways that are erratic, sometimes even cruel. Just because your spouse does this doesn't mean your spouse is evil. This is just a cruddy time for both of you.
Keeping Your Cool
Understanding why your spouse behaves this way should make it easier to keep your cool. What you must do is to think strategically and keep your eyes on the prize.
It's okay to let your spouse get the last word, because you're not going to negotiate based on who gets the last word.
It's okay for your spouse to yell and for you not to respond, because the judge isn't going to decide your divorce issues based on who yells more or who yells more loudly. If this is an issue, check out Let's Get This Straight about emotional abuse.
It's okay for your spouse to tell your children or your friends what a terrible person you are and for you not to respond in kind, because your children and your friends will ultimately respect you more for keeping your mouth shut.
Prudence
Keeping your cool does not mean you allow your spouse to endanger anyone. When push comes to shove, you need to do whatever you must to protect yourself and your children. I'm not just talking about rushing out to get a restraining order, although restraining orders certainly can be helpful in some circumstances.
I'm talking about care in your interaction with your spouse. If your spouse tends to get violent when you meet him or her in a particular place, don't meet them there. If there's a third party involved, and if the conflict escalates whenever the third party enters the scene, try to get some separation for a while. It's just common sense.
Counseling
Often, counseling can help you deal with your own feelings and those of your spouse in divorce. With the help of counseling, often you can spot when your spouse is about to behave irrationally and head off that behavior before it starts. Or you may use counseling to help think through the possible responses to your spouse.
One warning about counseling is in order here: if you have children, and if there is any chance that you may be arguing over children in adversarial divorce, STOP.
Before you enter counseling, check with your lawyer about whether your spouse's attorney might be able to force your counselor to disclose what you talk about in counseling. Some states disregard the privileged nature of your counseling sessions when the welfare of children is involved. Just make sure you understand this before getting started.

Its all in how your raised. Some people crave for things they dont have and want to experience new things. Some people are comfortable with the way things are and dont want to rock the boat. I would say that usually girls are the ones who want to experience all kinds of stuff, and most dudes are kind of like whatever.

Because there are closed minded and open minded people. You should find out which one your spouse is before you marry them.

Because men who have open sex are broad mind and not possessive and not selfish. These men are brave, have more selfconfident to become leaders who like challenges and they are practical reasoning not to resitrcit the religion to guide them but to their ownself and families and their commitments.
Men who are selfish, posseissive who can not accept the idea on open sex are men who jealous.

Half the people in the country voted for Gore and half for Bush. It is not hard to believe that everyone does not think alike.

Just because they don't agree with you, or share your point of view or have the same enthusiasm, does not make them close minded.
