I have been married to the same guy for 36 1/2 years.  Neither one of us has ever had sexual relations with anyone else. He is my best friend and lover.  Marriage is a divinely ordained instution bringing together one man and one women. When I took my wedding vows I pledged myself to him forsaking all others. My spouse is in my soul mate and I can never imagine either one of us wanting to be someone else. Animals will mate with any of the same species. He is not particular.  Has sex been reduced to animalism in our society? If you have to go outside your marriage to find happiness or to "swing" with someone else, you possess a lack of respect for yourself as well as your spouse. You are basically saying that your spouse is not good enough so therefore, you will look for happiness somewhere else. You carry your happiness with you and nothing external is going to sustain that happiness. "Swinging" is another sign of degeneracy in our country and it saddens me greatly to think that people have to resort to this kind of acitivty to find true happiness and love in life.
