[QUOTE="Percivale, post: 76046999, member: 302279"] If I understand it correctly, polyamory has to include a romantic relationship, not just sex, but it doesn't have to involve all living under one roof or having a relationship with everyone that has one with one's partner. Romans 7:3, along with I Corinthians 7:39, prohibit polyandry, and the New testament does not appear to have a double standard on marital morality, since the divorce rules applied both ways and elders had to have only one wife. That's one area where it's stricter than the Old Testament which approved of polygamy, for example in II Chronicles 24:2-3. Of course that's only decisive for conservative Christians. For those who feel that "love is love" is a good reason to support gay marriage, the same principle would apply to polyamory, though the added complexity of relationships with more than one person is still a reason for caution.
