Should A Third Person Be Allowed Into The Marriage or Reationship

October 31, 2008 8:33pm CST
Here is a question going through m head right now, and I want to know wha everyone else thinks about adding a third person into a marriage or relationship The Christian view is, and most other religious views, is hthat it is wrong to allow another person into your bed, basically, because it can cause a few problems and probably make you life a whole lot worse, but think about it; it can bring joy, can't it? Some women who are infertile will regularly ask for a surrogate to have their baby, or some peopl even have a threesome, right? So is it right or wrong to allow a third persona into the relationship? I honestly don't know, in someways its wrong and in tohers its oka. Probably rarely ever right.

Hello, Blueniagra. I do not think that it would be wrong to add a third person in a relationship/marriage, as long as the couple is willing to add this third person. I mean, would you like to go to bed with your husband and another woman? Wouldn't it feel strange? Perhaps you would like to do it with two men, but not with two women. How would your partner feel about it? If both of you agree, then it isn't wrong. Of course this is just an example, and I'm talking in a non-religious point of view. Many religions will not allow it. They will say that it is wrong. But, as I said, it could happen if the three want it. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I think it depends on the couple. Whether it is right ar wrong is a matter of conscience, and the people involved have to live with there decisions. I personaly feel that if there are ground rules that are followed it can enhance a relationship, but only if all members agree with the rules. In the end its totally up two the two original members of the relationship to decide whether or not it should be done. Hugs, Tianna

If it will enhance your marriage and relationship with your spouse, I don't see anything wrong with it. But, it is still considered taboo. I would never do that because I like to have the person that I'm with all to myself.

I had the same discussion which I posted a long time ago. I also responded to other mylotters who posted the same topic. No so much ado, here in the Philippines, it isn't just religion that prohibits third party in a marriage. I guess, we are more familiar with the religious aspect prohibition of the existence of third party to marriages. Then, I will tackle more on the legal aspect. The Revised Penal Code of the Philippines absolutely prohibits illegal marriages as well as Adultery and Concubinage. It is strictly provided that not only the unfaithful husband or wife is punished. It likewise punish the third person. A third person should not be allowed to intervene in the marriage relationship. Marriage is defined as the union of a man and a woman, taking each other as husband and wife, thus have the responsibility to love, respect and be loyal with each other. Moreover, God only designed a man and a woman to form the sacrament of matrimong with the exclusion of a third person. Plus, our heartbeat if you may observe beats twice when we are in love. Our heart beats only to the person we truly love like this.....thug,thug.....thug,thug......It does not beat like this....thug,thug,thug...thug,thug,thug....Meaning, even our heart is designed to beat only to one person and does not include a third party. Something to realize or ponder on to this kind of situation, if you are not ready to get marry or if you are not sure of the person you are currently in relationship with.....marriage is not the answer.

My view is a big NO!!!. As a christian, I believe that GOD must always be sought in every situation and he will help those couples struggling to have children.

Not a problem! Over 50% of all marriages don't last, add another person and what difference would it make? Lets face it Marriage wasn't made in heaven. Had marriage been important to life Jesus would have married, but he chose to live common-law with Mary Magdalene. I personally know of a childless couple who invited another female into their relationship so they could have children. It happens more frequently than most imagine, and if it makes people happy so be it!

Yay! I love your response! Anyway, I am agreeing to that!!! Yes, it does happen so much more than people realise, so yay, lets add another person into the marriage if that has to be the way!

If that works for the couple so be it. Personally I am not interested in a 3rd party. If my parent lacks what I am looking for then he is obviously not the one for me. Personally even though many disagree with me, in a threesome I think some or all parties are gay. Just my opinion, and I am not interested in a gay relationship.

maybe some parties are trying to get with the same gender, you never know, but then again, some are just looking for a thrill or something totally different to what they haven't experienced. Some are just trying to make a fanatasy into reality, you never know, Bu I can agree to this discussion, and if you aren't interested, then that's okay.

In my opinion, marriage is sacred sacrament made by god, and it requires two person in love with each other, a man and women that solemly promoised to take care of each other and love each other. it only takes two people not more than two. so allowing another person in a relationship is a sin. a mortal sin.

I guess you can look at it that way. So I will also agree to this statement

Depends if you come from a religious background. If you do like a roman catholic then its clearly wrong and not allowed. If you live life according to yourself and without religion then its however you feel about it. Dont feel like you have people make rules up for you whether its coming from a religion or from a person.
1 Nov 08
wow you pretty much feel the same way I do about this. personally, though, I probably wouldn't do it, but that is my opinion

adding a third person into a marriage or relationship? I can't stand such an situation. Do you like to share your husband with another gril, or do you want to share a wife with another man? If my bf seriously ask me to bring another one into our relation, then I will give up this relation right away and break up with him! It is rediculous to have three person relation!
1 Nov 08
really? I can't say its ridiculous, but this is your divine point of view, not mine, so I will agree with you on the fact that I would hate to share my partner with someone else, may it be a man or a woman,

I don't believe it's a good idea to add a third person or have a threesome. I just think it's asking for trouble. Eventually someone will get jealous. That's just my opinion though. People will do what they want no matter what the consequences might be.

Sometimes it feels impossible to find someone who is right for you and who thinks you are right for him or her. So when it happens take a step back from the dizzy sensation of being swept off your feet and make sure that your relationship entails these qualities: (1) Mutual Respect, (2) Trust, (3) Honesty, (4) Support, (5) Fairness/Equality, (6) Separate Identities, and (7) Good Communication. Having these there is no need for a third party in your marriage or relationship. Marriage is the single most important relationship in this life beyond the relationship with God.
