    Polyamory

    Here is the definition...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory

    I was reading a certain magazine at work today and there was an article about it..The gist of the article was that for some folks, it "works" better than monogamy because there are set rules that all parties agree to, and it allows for freedom. It's technically not the same as an "open marriage" because the participants are not going out and having sex with random people, but they supposedly "know" one another well enough to commit to each other in and agreed-upon "relationship", even supposedly making the outside person(s) "a part of their family"

    Sadly I know of some folks (Christian) that have tried this, and I really don't know what possessed them to try this, but from what I gather, things happened that weren't supposed to, like the "third wheel" in the relationship got pregnant, and had to get an abortion in order to save face and not embarrass the couple of origin (said couple were/are in ministry) It's a real shame before God that this all occurred, and I REALLY DO HOPE THE COUPLE HAVE FORSAKEN THIS "LIFESTYLE". For the past several years they have been under other ministries in I guess as a kind of "restoration" process, the current ministry being a long time friend of the couple since the beginning of the marriage. As a friend (long-distance now, they live in another state) how can I/do I relate to them (they have no idea I know all this stuff)? I have NOT talked to anyone else about this, and I am hesitant to even visit with them when they do come back into town to visit...

    that would be uneasy. It seems, more and more, things that shouldn't be happening are.. and things that should be happening aren't.

    we're in for a bumpy ride.

    Reminds me of the verse about Christians doing things that the world doesnt even accept. They accept people sleeping with their boyfriend/girlfriend and nowadays of the gender of their choice but not that. Not really.

    If they're all still living together I would avoid contact.

    I have no advice. If it were me I would avoid them. I am surprised and not surprised at this story. We are living in dark days.
