In a paper, The Suffocation of Marriage, psychologist Prof. Finkel and his
co-authors, claim that allowing one’s spouse to sleep with other people may be
the key to a happy marriage.
They argue that “outsourcing” other
areas of marriage, such as sex, to other suitors could make a relationship work
in the long run.
Prof. Eli Finkel, who is from the Department
of Psychology at Northwestern University in Illinois, USA, advises embarking on
an agreed “non-monogamous” relationship for marriages in which the passion and
intimacy has gone.
The professor told The Telegraph, “It may be that your spouse is a terrific source of
social support and intellectual stimulation but you haven’t had sex more than
twice a year for the last five years and neither of you think that’s adequate. So
you could say, that’s one of the needs I am going to fulfil elsewhere. I don’t
recommend cheating, but an openly consensual non-monogamous relationship, that
may very well be functional.”
Of course this is contrary to everything
the Bible says about marriage. It sounds like the world has finally found ‘scientific’
backing to pull down traditional Christian family values.
What do you think?
