If y'all get down like that and y'all are happy then I guess so. Why do you have an open marriage? I don't understand why couples do that. Why be married? |

It depends on the people. Some people, it won't work anyother way, with others, it's unheard of. Talk to spouse/future spouse for a real answer. |

Yep, am in one.. :D
As long as you are both willing, that there is no jealousy, and you have some ground rules... |

They can if everyone is willing to communicate honestly and openly. It's a lifestyle choice that the majority of American society frowns at. But, frankly, it nobodies business but for those involved.
I have a few articles on the subject. Links provided. |

if both parties are willing. And there must not be a hint of jealousy or everything will fall apart.
I have seen it work though.
Make sure you set rules that will make you comfortable.
They should be very clear and up held by both parties. |

Yes it can work as long as both parties are honest with each other and share their experiences. I would suggest the two of you try it with other people and see if it works for you. The only way you will know is if you both go to bed with other partners. Have fun,you only live once. |

Through open and honest communication, it can work.
Also, everyone has to be 10000000% for it. If there is any doubt in anyones mind about it, then it won't work. If there is jealousy that isn't addressed and worked through, it won't work.
Also, is it polyamerous? Can you be in love with more than one person and can your significant other be the same way?
It can work, but it is rare.
I wish you the best of luck, honesty, trust, and as much love as the world can give. |

many in hollywood have that. you will have to sit down and find out what works for both of you. and to have agreements not to bring the other person home nor flaunt it and to be discreet. and you dont' need to hear the whole story of whats going on. if you want just a roof over your head and kiddies and the rest he can find someplace else and it works for you why not. |

I would have my doubts about that. I think you're asking for problems there. |

if it's open, it's not really a marriage, it's more like a free for all. |

Nope. Theres a reason why pple get married. They want to spend the rest of their life with just one person, and for that one person to return the favor. If your going to sleep with other pple then dont bother being married. besides, u never know... either of u could end up fallin for someone else and break the others heart.

They rarely do. Then again most marriages don't.

most open marriages do not last, always seems like you end up meeting someone you want to be with,
I would find a local lover and never say anything about it, agreement is to not call but be available when hubby is gone, |

Its very possible but at the same time I say no. Jealousy would arrise way to much, and sometimes one another might wonder a little too much about the other and cause major conflict. But if you are the right two people, anything is possible. Keep every option open and make sure you talk to each other very openly and honestly. |

i know a couple that did this, and it did work for awhile until she got feelings for one of the other guys, and her husband couldn't deal with it. so needless to say they got a divorce. i personally wouldn't recommend it, i wouldn' t want my husband doing some other woman, and i don't want another man. he's all i need. |

This is good for 2 confirmed cheaters. At least they are not hiding anything. Problem is the cheatee's may get hurt unless they are honest as well with the other people they "date". |

Being there, will not work, there is just a lot of sides to consider, if you think you want to experience an alternative way live your marriage, you should try first swinging, this way both of you will taste the feeling of not being exclusive to each other and then move on forward to an open marriage, I would recommend, though not to get into this waters, there are a lot, believe me alot of things you do not even know you will face, it is like being in your car speeding at 110 mph. any little error will destroy it all, it is not worth it!!!
good luck!!! |

If it`s "open", why nother going through the official part? Why not keep it like a casual relationship?...
If you`re ready to commit , you commit. If not... |

define open .do you mean sleeping with other people.if yes that's is a bad thing because you will be comparing lovers. and that means some one will get hurt .and it will be you/ |
