Open Marriage
Abraham
Want to understand why men feel entitled to extracurricular activities? Look no further than the Bible. Though Abraham was promised he would be the father of many nations, his wife, Sarah, was barren. So Sarah came up with a plan: 86-year-old Abraham would take her servant Hagar as a concubine so she could give him a child. Not surprisingly, when Abraham did as he was told, Sarah grew jealous and banished her now-pregnant servant. And when Sarah turned 90 (and Abraham a spry 100), she eventually had her own son, Isaac, who became the second patriarch of Judaism. And what of Hagar's son with Abraham? Ishmael became the father of Islam.
Something for christian folks.
Charlie Sheen
He may be having a very public meltdown, but privately Charlie Sheen appears to be living the Big Love dream. The 45-year-old actor, who has been married three times, now shares his home with his "Goddesses"—Natalie "Natty" Kenly and Rachel Oberlin, aka Bree Olson. "Our bed is big enough for all three of us, and we take turns sleeping in the middle," Kenly told the New York Post of their sleeping arrangements. Asked whether they all have sex together, Oberlin added: "We do whatever Charlie wants us to do. This is the type of lifestyle I've always wanted, and I'm thrilled with it."
Andrei Kirilenko
NBA players aren't exactly known for their monastic lifestyles, but in the case of Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko, his wife does what comes naturally for him—she gives him a pass. In a 2006 ESPN The Magazine article, Masha Lopatova, a former Russian pop star, admitted that she allows her husband to have sex with another woman one night a year. "When this article comes out, girls will be lining up outside his hotel door," she told the magazine. "When I'm aware and I let him do it, it's not cheating." ESPN personality Tony Kornheiser naturally applauded the yearly allowance: "She is a top-five wife, all-time."Will Smith
Ever since Will Smith gave an interview in 2008 to Britain's Now magazine, he has been dogged by reports that his longtime marriage to Jada Pinkett is an open one. But it's easy to understand why people think it. As Smith told Now: "Our perspective is, you don't avoid what's natural and you're going to be attracted to people… If it came down to it, then one would say to the other: ‘Look, I need to have sex with somebody. Now I'm not going to do it if you don't approve of it.' In our marriage vows, we didn't say ‘forsaking all others.'" In 2009, however, Pinkett appeared to reject the idea, telling NPR: "If I say to you I don't have an open marriage, no, we're not gay. You know, then—and you don't trust that, well, there's nothing that we, that I, really have to say to anybody about anything because at the end of the day, I'm living my life and I'm happy.
