With respect to my fellow forum members, I'm going to have to disagree that Amy's response is very thoughtful. My reasons are threefold; one she presumes that a married couple with kids can't engage in this lifestyle. That's utterly false. Two, she presumes that opening the marriage will automatically induce additional stress. Three, she presumes that opening up a marriage will likely lead to ending it, yet doesn't back it up with any supporting evidence. She just presumes it will likely end the marriage. So, the short form is "It's ok to try it if you like stress, don't have kids, and want to end your marriage. Go for it!" Sorry, I'm not on board. I find her response judgmental, cynical, and deeply critical.

Good for Amy to provide a balanced answer and not total moralistic, anti-swinging rhetoric.
