I've never understood open marriages, but instead of looking down upon them, I'd rather try to get an understanding of what makes an open marriage, and why to people prefer them.

So if you're in an open marriage, I have some questions for you:
1) Do you love your spouse?
2) Do you get jealous at all when your spouse has sex with another person?
3) Do you prefer your current situation over a "conventional" marriage?
4) Do you think there is someone else out there that you might meet some day that you would prefer to have a "conventional" marriage with?
5) Do you intend to be in your current marriage forever? If so, do you intend to keep it open forever?
6) What does being married bring to you that "just dating" doesn't?
7) Are there some people you prefer to have sex with rather than your spouse?
8) Are you always honest with your spouse about who you sleep with?
9) Does it make a difference if your spouse doesn't tell you who he/she sleeps with during your marriage?
10) Please define what "open marriage" means to you in a personal sense.

Of course you don't have to answer all of these questions (although I'd prefer it), but if you answer only one, please make sure you answer #10.

Thank you to all who participate in my quest for understanding!
