open or not open...marriage doesn't mean the same thing to eveyone. Conservatives would like it clearly defined as X, Y, and Z.

But what ever is the meaning of marriage I think I am on safe grounds that for the majority, it means a special bond that is unique to two people...m/m, m/f, or f/f. And it is those two people who define what that bond is for them. So it would be ok to have an open marriage for some and while for others it is not.

Neither member of the relationship in my view should force or perswade the other either way--it should be something that both should agree on
