RE: Open marriage

how many couple marry and swear to be faithful and then cheat and lie. Do they have a better marriage, because it is based on ignorance?
Neither the adultery of an "open marriage" nor the adultery of a traditional marriage is honoring to God or the other spouse. Adultery in any context is immoral and destructive. A husband's obligation is to love his wife with asacrificiallove. It's to forsake all others for her.
It really should be a picture of the gospel. Christ loved the church by laying down his life for her. He pursues her in spite of her imperfections and purifies her and makes her his own.
A marriage marked by self-serving gratification is a cheap substitute and it's promises for satisfaction are hollow.

Yes, and Leviticus (the word of god) says that if your wife is menstruating, you should isolate her in a hut and not touch her, because she is unclean.
Now tell me that Christians don't have to abide by the first 5 books of the bible while you use it to condemn homosexuality.

The bottom line is...It's HIS Marriage, defined by him and her. To some it may be a sham, a travesty, a decay of moral fabric. As long as there is love, respect, and it's between them, then what does it matter to any of us? Maybe their vows didn't include faithful, many write their own vows today. Maybe his idea of faithful means being devoted to loving his wife and having someone to have sex with. Sex and Love are different. Men and women masturbate outside of the marital bed. Its just sex. Anyways, its a discussion, not a platform to judge. Whats right for one, may not be right for all.TELL ME WHY IT BELONGS IN THIS FORUM??

gollum, it's your fellow travellers on the right who pull bible verses out of context. Like the Westboro Baptists.

What a surprise the three lefties, who just happen to share the same proclivities, find nothing wrong with this topic in this forum. Just a coincidence folks, move along.....nothing to see here.
Between the continued decline in societies morals, and financial pressure brought to bear on some landed camps to include openly 'lifestyle' people, I think I may witness the death of organized nudism in my lifetime, outside of non-landed clubs operated by dedicated purists like Cheri Donna. That's a damned shame, we have many fond memories of wonderful times we've had and people we've met. It's a classic example of lowering standards to try and appease everyone, and it's a fool's errand. And it's a fool who can't see what is in front of his eyes.

And what "proclivities" would that be? A love for nudism?

Are you that blinded by your self appointed mission in life to shove your agenda down everyone's throat that you can't see how your post recklessly exposes your ignorance?
You leftists are the most selfish, self-centered ingrates I've ever had the misfortune to interact with. You are children trapped in adult bodies, unwilling or unable to admit you can't have everything in this world the way you want it, but you screw up anything you manage to get your hands on to gerrymander the way you want it. Take a good look at your cities and states that are run by hard left-wingers....they are human disasters in the making.....California, Chicago, DC, and that poster child for human dysfunction, Detroit. A once proud city reduced to trash-strewn streets, abandoned graffitti-scrawled buildings, an unemployment rate light years ahead of the national average, all run by a THUG wearing expensive suits. What does it say about a constituent that re-elects a mayor who was caught on camera smoking crack? Yeah I know, the MAN set him up, right? But the liberal plantation dwellers refused to vote for the white guy and watched their city continue it's decline. You ever wonder why so many cops retire to the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho? Because the northern midwest is the last bastion of conservative values and SANITY.
