How important is the sex? Nothing kills sex like children -- they take so much energy. Once the other couple's kids are born, their priorities might change. Of course, if you're there to help out you might still be very welcome. But what kind of relationship will it all be then? Will you all just be good buddies? Will you be the surrogate uncle and aunt (only as long as the other couple agrees, of course)? Will they get presure from their relatives to stop having alternative sexual relations once children are in the house?
So many questions. Ask yourself, how do you think this relationship will change over the next five years? And if things change in a few years so that the relationship you have now no longer exists, will the time you've had together still make it all worthwhile? While everybody likes a happy ending, it's not a necessity if the journey is rewarding.
