Says who? Western Culture?
I thought the purpose of being in a committed relationship was just that though.  How can you be committed screwing other couples or does it make it okay because yall are both doing it?

yea, i don't see a point in that....to keep the relationship alive??? Then you don't have a relationship IMO, because a relationship in my eyes doesn't evolve being with other people...

Swinging is cool to do with a girl you're not serious with. Call me a hypocrite but aint no way im gonna sit and watch my girl get gangbanged by some strangers. Ive been to some swing clubs and they are exciting and disgusting at the same time.

It has a LOT to do with Western Culture, which is why polygamy is "accepted" in other parts of the world. Yea the natural jealous part of our minds wouldn't want anyone looking at our women, I agree. But the idea of, "There is no point of being in a relationship if you are going to swing" is a thought based on social norms.

My point is we can't deem it WRONG. The most we can say is it isn't traditional of the society we live in. But lettuce not confuse what society's rules are with what is right and wrong.

Some folks emotionally/spiritually

But they don't want that monogamy physically, financially, and emotionally.

I wouldn't call anyone wrong for wanting that at all.

I wouldn't do it though. Just to make that clear.

Now I get what you saying and I agree.  Can't knock what someone wants to do, but I can do what works for me.

This man speaks the truth. i'm getting married on july 9th of this year, and i cannot wait to start our life together. we've dated close to 7 years and we've had our ups and downs. if you guys can't grow together, as a couple, don't get married. marriage isn't to be taken lightly, with the attitude "i can get out of it if it doesn't work"...

I got married July 9th last year! Congrats btwI don't think there is a written formula for how to make it work, just go day by day and try to understand each other and try not to involve other people in your relationship, that's when %@!$ gets ugly.

Fam, I'm getting married on July 9th of this year as well

This is the truth right here.  All of the "chick" threads on NT are ample evidence that many (if not most) dudes on here have no idea what it takes to build a healthy relationship (among other things)...

This. A Committed Relationship Is Just You Falling in Love With Your Bestfriend. If Its Based On Sex It'll NEVER Last

I also thinks some dudes view points on marriage and what it TRULY takes to make it last/work revolves around whether or not their parents stayed together.
