As you know, President Obama has come out in favor of same-sex marriage. To this I say, Hallelujah!
I’m elated the President has articulated his beliefs to the public. As the niece of a gay uncle (who is married to a magnificent man), I’m truly overjoyed when politicians, especially the President of the United States, express their support for same-sex marriage and the LGBT community.
Now that we are on the subject of marriage, I have a question for you. Regardless of whether you are in a heterosexual marriage or a homosexual marriage, how would you describe your marriage? Are you in a monogamous marriage or an open marriage? Please submit your response in our poll.

Obama has come out in favor of same-sex marriage. To this I say, Hallelujah! Poor choice of words. Hallelujah is Hebrew for, you must praise the Lord!

— We’re open and we like it
— Has become troublesome
And so on , and so on…
I mean, outside of theory, marriages can have lots of possible outcomes.
Not just four: that’s oversimplification.
Very good point. Add one more wrinkle here — two people married to each other might have different answers to the same question….
I’m in a triad with a married couple. We live together, and have a wonderful life… Far more amazing… living with my friends and lovers than any past relationship.
Claire,
Your comment is a bit confusing. So, is it just you and the married couple?
You mentioned living with friends and lovers…..
Just asking.
“How would you describe your marriage?”
