- What you are saying here is that marriage is only based on the physical
- side of the relationship? Commitment is only centered on whether or not
- you sleep with only that person? I'd like to think there is more to a
- relationship than the physical side.

- I think that you can respect and honor your partner and still engage in
- sexual relationships outside your marriage. Trust, love, respect,
- communication, etc can still be present in an open marriage (even more so
- in some cases because there are often more which has to be talked out and
- agreed upon). I don't think that polyamorous relationships are right for
- everyone, but I do believe they are quite possible and can be just as
- successful and satisfying as monogamous ones. I think generalizing
- about something you really know nothing about is pretty damn asinine.
