Did you see this comedy film called "Hall Pass", I found it kind of funny the way they makes it. I somehow would agree the privilege of "Hall Pass", letting each other take a week off from each, from a marriage, and have some crazy fun. I don't know if my opinion would agree with people here. When you keep on pushing your husband to be faithful, they are more likely to be naughty. If you grant them a pass for week or so, let them explore, they might ease up on themselves. What do you think about this "Hall Pass" prerogative? would it work in a psychological sense?

Yes, I have watched this movie.
I don't think this applies to the real life. I don't think any husband or wife can tolerate their husband going out to meet other women during the 1 week hall pass.
Maybe the end result will benefit the wife/ husband and help to enhance their relationship, but, who knows, it will become a topic arguement if really one of the husband or wife have slept with the 3rd person.
It might make a husband/ wife feel better about their spouse after they had a chance to be with another person, but, what IF the wife/husband is falling in love and have a string attach with the 3rd person? Will it last for just 1 week or prolong to another level of relationship? What IF the 3rd person wanting to see him/her more???
xo Abit risky, i think.

If by, "Hall Pass" you mean that spouses should be given permission to be in a committed relationship with someone other than their spouse for a week, then I strongly disagree with it. In my opinion, not only is a "Hall Pass" detrimental and damaging to the value and importance of maintaining faithfulness to both God and the vow of marriage, but I also think the concept of "Hall Passes" is just the beginning of a serious, damaging and hurtful road that only leads to trouble. From a psychological perspective, granting "Hall Passes" in marriage does not increase faithfulness. God is clear about couples only exploring with their spouse once they have made a commitment to marriage. Exploring with others outside the marriage is not fun. Exploring outside the marriage is wrong and adulterous.
