Michelle just posted something on Facebook regarding open marriages and how some of her colleagues are suggesting some couples investigate them and how she is adamantly opposed to them.
I am almost always in agreement with her, but this is where I part company. While I understand that in the context of our culture this would not be a good idea for a lot of couples, I can see why it could work in some situations.
My opinion is that some people just aren't capable of being monogamous or are at least struggle with it. Others are in relationships that are perfectly fine with the exception of a non existent or infrequent sex life.
Others really love the relationship they have with their spouse, but both really enjoy occasional get togethers with others and find it adds a lot to their own sex life.
If a poly relationship can be worked out with mutual agreement, I don't see anything wrong with it.
Wonder what others here thought about it. I can copy/paste Michelle's post if you can't access it.
