Is an Open Marriage Wrong?

Is an open marriage wrong? I think that an open marriage is not something that the majority of us would consider as an option. Most of us would go insane if our husbands even stare at other women so to have them sleep with other women is not going to happen. Open marriages are more common in Hollywood or with really famous people who can afford to have many wives and the wives won’t leave them either because they are wealthy.

 For example, Hugh Hefner has many girlfriends and even a wife together with the girlfriends. All of his girlfriends agree to his type of relationship and this is because he is wealthy. He can give them a million each and they don’t need to do anything else. One of his girlfriends does not consider going to college or do anything with her life since she said that Hugh Hefner is rich. There are many rappers or singers who have wives and girlfriends. The wives are ok with their open relationship and I think it has something to do with wealth and security again. The wives don’t want to leave them even though they know that these men are sleeping with other women.

 It’s common in the entertainment industry. Its nerve wrecking for the common person to think about these kinds of relationships but it’s out there. Hollywood is a completely different world than our world. They do things that we would never think of doing. There are some common people that have open marriages too and they are on the wilder side or the wealthier side. Wealthy men usually have many women going after them and it’s easy for them to fall into that kind of lifestyles. Women that are married to them don’t want to leave them either. These kinds of relationships are not common in the normal Christian marriage. Many men and women would really oppose this kind of marriage and many of them won’t go into this kind of marriage.

 I personally would not put up with this kind of relationship because it’s wrong. I can’t imagine dating someone or living with someone who is sleeping with other people and sharing a checking account with me. It’s hard to accept. It’s unethical if you’re a religious person. It will also impact your kids. You don’t have genuine relationship or genuine love. I think that an open marriage is a drama driven kind of relationship and it’s wrong. There are people who don’t think that it’s wrong but for the normal Christian marriage, we think it’s wrong. We might as well not have the marriage because a marriage is a union between husband and wife not husband and many wives.
