	Open marriage - Wikinfo
		An open marriage is a marriage where both parties agree that they are permitted the right to have sexual relationships outside the marriage, without regarding this as sexual infidelity.
		Open marriage can be regarded as a half-way state between traditional marriage and free love.
		Open marriage is not the same thing as polygamy, where sexual relationships are kept entirely within the parties to the marriage.

	Open marriage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An open marriage, in its broadest usage, is any marriage wherein both parties agree to permit sexual relationships for one or both outside the marriage, without regarding this as sexual infidelity.
		Open marriage can be regarded as a broad spectrum of relationship types between strictly monogamous marriages and polyamory (involvement in loving relationships, of a sexual kind, with more than one person).
		Open marriage is not the same thing as polygamy, where sexual relationships are kept entirely within the parties to a formally-recognised marital arrangement.

	Open relationship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An open relationship denotes a relationship (usually between two people) in which participants are free to take other partners; where the couple making this agreement are married, it is an open marriage.
		Some polyamorists consider 'polyamory' to be their philosophical orientation — they believe themselves capable and desirous of multiple loves — whereas 'open relationship' is used as a logistical description: that is, it is how their polyamory is expressed or implemented.
		However, there is enough overlap between the two concepts that 'open relationship' is sometimes used as a catch-all substitute when speaking to people who may not be familiar with 'polyamory'.

	Marriage Culture
		With marriages in older cultures, such as Joseph and Mary in the New Testament, it was probably a 15 year difference, the typical age difference of that time and culture.
		If the parents give to the marriage what they can, then it is only right that the children are culturally trained to give to their parent's retirement age what they can.
		Such marriages need the blessing of both sets of parents, that is, whatever financial help they can give, whatever help they can give in time with watching the kids, and whatever help they can give with advice, loans at no interest, and so on.

		Unfortunately, open marriage is an old, tested and tired concept that doesn't work any better in actual practice than communism does.
		Marriage is not, as I'm sure you now know, just about great sex or financial support or "chemistry." It is the deep comfort of knowing that someone loves you through and through, and that you love them back.

	Redefining Marriage Away by David L. Tubbs, Robert P. George, City Journal Summer 2004
		Their goal in redefining marriage is not to weaken or abolish it but to expand access to it, while leaving its core features intact.
		A month before the wedding, the man approaches his fiancée to ask whether she will consider an "open marriage," in which they will free each other from the duty to be sexually faithful.
		Redefining marriage means abolishing it and shifting the label to a new institution—one for which there are no grounds of principle for sexual exclusivity or monogamy.

		The minting of these new forms of marriage is a symptom of our culture's contemporary radical individualism - as is the decline of traditional marriage - and not its cause.
		It is critical, however, that any such fundamental change in the very definition of marriage be enacted democratically and not (as in the disastrous case of abortion) by judicial fiat.
		But don't tell me that we can make one radical change in the one-man, one-woman rule and not be open to the claim of others that their reformation be given equal respect.

	Love and marriage
		The basis and foundation of a marriage is a spiritual union and covenant between a man and a woman through a marriage ceremony before God.
		For this reason (the reason of marriage) a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
		On the other hand, if you establish your marriage relationship on the binding effect of being in love alone you are going to find extreme strains on that relationship when you hit a rough patch in life and the pressure is on to the point where you hardly have time to feel in love.

	WorldNetDaily: Same-sex couple flaunts 'open marriage'
		A defiant Canadian who received a marriage license in Massachusetts yesterday, despite the governor's orders, reinforced the assertion of critics that homosexuals are far more likely than heterosexuals to openly reject the foundational concept of marriage as a commitment to one person for life.
		The Massachusetts high court decided Nov. 18 homosexual couples are legally entitled to wed under the state constitution and should be allowed to apply for marriage licenses, overturning a ruling by a lower court in May 2002.
		Dobson was among many many like-minded leaders yesterday urging passage of a federal marriage amendment, which would define marriage in the U.S. Constitution as solely the union of one man and one woman.

	The Partial Observer - Same-Sex Marriage and Open Borders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In a free society, both open marriage and open immigration would be tolerated, but nobody would be compelled to grant benefits to these spouses or be compelled to provide for or in any way associate with these immigrants.
		It would be easier especially for single same-sex friends in middle age or later to embark on a same-sex sham marriage for mutual economic benefit (at the expense of everyone else), than for either to find an opposite-sex partner to agree to the scam.
		On the other hand, when open borders and laissez-faire marriage laws are combined with socialist enterprises like public schools, Social Security, and spousal benefits, I don’t see the justice in allowing the foreigner or the homosexual to join in on the looting.

	If In Doubt, Don't - Open Marriages
		Interestingly, research data shows that those who are successful in their open marriages tend to be happier in both their lives and their marriages than those in traditional monogamous marriages.
		However, in most societies when a marriage is opened and a spouse spends time -- especially intimate time -- with another person, we immediately fear losing them to that person — a fear that may or may not be justified.
		Even if the marriage is solid (which it must be if an open marriage is even contemplated) one partner may at some point find someone else that seems to have traits that their marriage partner doesn't have -- good looks, wealth, special talents, or whatever.

	NCPA - BG #145 - The Marriage Penalty
		It is not necessary to completely abandon the family as the basic unit of taxation in order to eliminate the marriage penalty.
		Short of going all the way to an individual filing system, other options for redressing the marriage penalty include restoration of the second-earner deduction, such as that included in the 1981 tax bill, widening tax brackets and modifying provisions such as the EITC that create marriage penalties.
		Given the cost of full elimination of the marriage penalty and budgetary realities, in the end Congress will probably be forced to choose among these more limited options if it decides to address the issue at all.
