That whole "non religious reasons" bit slipped right past, didn't it?And dad and his boyfriend.
This really isn't a hard question for Christians is it? Polyandrous marriage isn't of God. Open marriage is heathen, not Christian. Christians clarify from that perspective and they're mocked for it. Telling, isn't it?
I understand that these are your reasons, and I understand that the following only applies to those who also have those reasons for marriage.To understand this, you have to look at the reasons for marriage in the first place, and they have nothing to do with love.
- To form an economic partnership
- To know who has a right to have sex with whom (most murders are over women)
- To raise children in a stable home
They aren´t married, so I fail to see how this is of any relevance. The married couple does form an economic partnership - this your purpose of marriage will still be intact.While polygamy can fit these parameters (and historically has been recognized as marriage) an open marriage does not. The others whom one sleeps with one does not form an economic partnership with.
Yes, this is a fair warning. Open marriage and polyarmory is not for people who are jealous, idealize jealousy and/or want their jealousy to be sheltered.One has a right to have sex with everyone, which ends up causing all the problems with jealousy that marriage is supposed to stop.
...assuming the unmarried partners have children with each other, that is.And the biggest problem of all is that children are born that are not those of the married couple, leading to the homelife being less stable as kids go back and forth between different homes to see different parents.
A security blanket of sorts. Fool around with whomever and always have a wife or husband to come home to. It's immature, imo.
That one´s new to me.Another reason for marriage is to genetically stabilize the family line of the offspring.
Agreed. Just like any relationship, partnership or marriage it requires consideration, awareness and work.It's not all about "fun and games" as some would like to believe.
Well, no, it can´t. People can be thoughtful or thoughtless ("buffalo"-like, as you put it) in all sorts of relationships.Being in an open marriage can be compared to the sexual habits of a herd of buffalo (or other animals) with no thought being given to the outcome of their actions.
An Open Marriage
How does love fit in?
Do they love the others they are having intimate relations with?
Is it a hobby?
Sin is an inherently religious concept. Therefore, your question doesn't make sense.
Sin: transgression of divine law
This thread is entitled "an open marriage". Wouldn't any opinion concerning marriage be relevant?I understand that these are your reasons, and I understand that the following only applies to those who also have those reasons for marriage.

Good questions.
Do they love each other? They may think they love each other. But probably not.
No, they probably don't love the people they are intimate with.
Yes, it is a hobby or can be a job. Like if it was porn and they got paid for it.
That is why I said on another post that I meant to say why is it morally wrong.

When dating, unless the couple agrees to be exclusive, is typically open and is not the same as marriage. As we know.
My point exactly.And therein lies the stickler.....
why get married at all?
My point exactly.
That will be the next hurdle in society as far as the law pertaining to marriage. Polygamy. An equal right. Watch.

Maybe.My point exactly.

You know what, as long as polygamy isn't with teenage girl, I say why not let them screw up their lives. After all, we have people living in sin already which is worse. Polygamy is a headache. What happens when someone wants to divorce? How do they split the property? Who gets the kids? We are so not ready for polygamous divorce.That will be the next hurdle in society as far as the law pertaining to marriage. Polygamy. An equal right. Watch.
That is a hurdle already able to be overcome. The marrying teen girls part.You know what, as long as polygamy isn't with teenage girl, I say why not let them screw up their lives.
Imagine the benefits if all spouses worked and the inequality that would present. That actually may be the out the opposition has when the polygamists pursue their agenda using the same latch words as did the SS agenda.After all, we have people living in sin already which is worse. Polygamy is a headache. What happens when someone wants to divorce? How do they split the property? Who gets the kids? We are so not ready for polygamous divorce.

Open marriage is heathen, not Christian.
It's Biblical at least.
If everyone involved gives their fully informed, uncoerced consent, why not let 'em?
