Open marriages defeat the whole purpose behind getting married. Marriage is supposed to be about finding someone you're willing to be faithful to for the rest of your life (or theirs), so if you're not willing to do so you may as well stay single instead of getting married but still living like you're single.

Your thoughts?
 
Why go through the whole three ring event if you're not willing to be monogomous, remain faithful to one? That is why most commitment phobes stay away from marriage. They ask for an open relationship or ask that they live together because there are no legal rammifications to further complicate matters if they decide that things are not going well.
 
What I would like to propose to those that disagree completely with the idea of an "open marriage" is to reconsider what the people are capable of and what kind of agreements could truly embody to them an open marriage. I agree that free and frivolous sexual relationships is a recipe for harm on all parts. A marriage should temper us and bring out our best. It should be the firmest of foundations for support and understanding and mutual growth. But as part of that should include utter, fearless and complete honesty.
