men thatz nonsense, then y r u married?
in the first place when u know your  not gonna be faithful
besides who brought up the idea ANYWAY
And to come to think that he loves his wife so much
I DON,T THINK SO
A man that really loves his wife will never let this happen

Open Marriage My foot!! Angry
For me thats not marraige but a social institution bound with rules of the flesh.
Marriage and infidelity dont make a sound phrase.Just because they have not divorced its doesnt mean that they are married.
Good humans,This world has sytems and instituions that try to define humans while humans can merely be defined mechanically Because the soul and mind are beyond our thinking.So,just because Smith and Jada are living together as wife and hubby doesnt mean they are married.Marriage starts way before the time you say your vows and ends when a soul leaves this world.
For the Smiths, they are might have never married and might never but humanly speaking they are.So quit thinking that the rituals around weddings and such ceremonies wholly define man...we are complex coz we are God's OWN image.
So, there is no open marriage.Those adjectives put before the word marriage try to distort God's creation that is perfect.

If one crazy husband tells me he wants an open marriage, he will surely get tired of it and cancel it because I will make sure I open up to every hot guy on planet earth.Grin

Open marriage is so wrong! u see, that is why it has a diff name from dating and courtship. In dating and courtship YOU can still look around to find someone more suitable for you. YOU can break an engagement or stop dating cos there are really no restrictions. BUT once you say you want to get married, Thats a diff ball game altogether. Marriage is about  commitment,sacrifice, devotion and so on. Once you decide to be married, that means youve decided to stop thinking of your self first,your wants first,or desires. Thats what makes it marriage. Anything short of that is definately NOT marriage. They should come up with another name for it, definately not open "MARRIAGE"

Even though i don't support all this open marriage crap, i don't think both parties to the marriage have said anything wrong. We are looking at it from the African context ..but lets consider it from hollywood's perspective. Marriages in this environment do not last. Not only even those that last a while, we find both parties av actually cheated at one point or the other or even have partners by the side. Will and Jada av come out plainly to say we will sleep with other pple if need be. Pls why are we shouting how many partners in marriages are faithful nowadays.. even considering in Africa.

In Africa, r we not worse. We go to church saying for better for worse but still , partners don't respect their vows and its as bad as having kids with diff women outside wedlock. So what are we talking about. Abeg leave the couple alone jo

naija sha, we like double speak.
in our society as we know it today, many married and supposedly 'close-married' folks drown in extra-marital affairs in secret but are quick to condemn same act in the open.
its a case of many of our moral saints frowning at prostitution but would 'carry' their daughter's age mates from university campuses for fun parties,meanwhile believing that their daughters would not dare behave as such.
what is important is being true to yourselves and being realistic.
Will Smith and mate are realists and their mutual agreement has brought their union this far, in a Hollywood where marriages are made and broken in hours.

poser:
would you like to know the pressures your partner is going through in dealing with the opposite sex or rather get to know about it the hard way when the deal/harm is done(HIV,a child out of wedlock, for the guys--someone else's child palmed off you, etc)?


Very well said.


I admire Jada and Will's honesty than the hypocritical rhetorics some Naijas like to feed themselves.
These two individuals are making responsible decisions to live a less stressful life in a community (Hollywood) where it is very difficult to keep your vows or keep a union together. Many people in Hollywoood run around and these two have decided that rather than go through the hassles of trying to keep things secret and having the other person feel betrayed and hurt, you leave things out in the open and let both individuals have the opportunity to fairly do what they want. 
I have no objection to those who want to practice open relationships. In fact, I imagine it would be less stressful for everyone concerned.

More power to Jada and Will.
