Open Marriages Are the New Hot Thing

We have written for years about the fact that polygamy and polyamory are going to be forced into the mainstream, normalized, accepted and ultimately celebrated.  It has to be.  How can the LGBTQ narrative continue to work if they don’t push for the bi-sexual person to legally marry more than one sex?  And how can the “born that way” narrative continue to be celebrated for gays if it isn’t integrated into the polyamorous who also can claim it.  

The next question for a godless society would be, “who actually came up with the lame idea that marriage is only “one man and one women united until death.”?  

And those really are great questions for godless people who have no knowledge and no respect for Judea-Christian values that come from the Bible and actually form all our laws and morals.  

Think of the thousands of stories and movies we’ve all read and seen that have “cheating” as the topic.  “Why did you cheat on me?”  Of course we all know what this means.  A couple was in a committed relationship or married when one of the partners has sex with someone else.  Just think of how all these cheating problems could be whisked away once the “I was born this way, so accept and celebrate me” formula is applied.

Hitting shelves in May this year is Deepa Paul’s Ask Me How it Works — Love in an Open Marriage, in which she details her relationship with her husband and her boyfriend. And last week, podcaster Ruby Rare released the how-to guide The Non-Monogamy Playbook: Exploring Polyamory and Open Relationships with Confidence.

Meanwhile, the highly anticipated play Unicorn opened in the West End in London this week, starring Nicola Walker, Erin Doherty and Stephen Mangan, taking its name from the dating slang for a woman who has sex with couples and exploring the idea that a happily married couple might want to add a third person into the mix.

 According to the latest YouGov data, while numbers of people in the UK reporting to have been in an open relationship remain low, at 4 per cent, 9 per cent of respondents are receptive to the idea — a figure that rises to 13 per cent among 18 to 24-year-olds. And, whether they admit it to pollsters or not, plenty more are curious about the prospect. According to Google, “open relationship” was the top trending relationship definition in the search engine in 2024, with “poly relationship” taking fifth place.

Even in the 12 months since More was published, “I feel like it’s become increasingly normalised,” Roden Winter says. “And that’s hopefully what pioneers do. We step forward into the light and show people the way.” 

My opinion altered because I kissed someone and it didn’t change how much I loved my husband. When I took part in a threesome, it didn’t affect how much I wanted to be with him.

We have met each other’s partners. Sometimes a woman asks him, “Are you really married? Is your wife really OK with this? Can I facetime her?” I’d be like, “Yeah, sure. Let’s facetime.” I let the woman lead it. If someone else would like to meet me, I’m always up for meeting a partner.

I’ve had two boyfriends outside my marriage. They each lasted a year. I fell in love with both of them. The first time I realised I was in love with someone else was scary. I was thinking, ‘Oh my gosh. Does falling in love with someone else mean I no longer love my husband?’ That was not the case.

It’s all evened out over the past 15 years. We’ve probably been on the same number of dates and had the same amount of sex outside our marriage. We don’t date colleagues.

Sometimes I get jealous that other women get the more carefree version of my husband on a first date, because he doesn’t have the logistic and financial entanglements that come with our marriage. But I get to be a more fun version of myself when I’m on a date too.
