It seems to me that everybody has sides to themselves that are developed to their potential better with different people. Sometimes that is purely sexual but that's just a small part of any relationship, and conversely, often monogamous relationships between lovers or even just between friends can become very unhealthy and obsessional tbf... and completely unproductive and damaging for the individuals involved. Not everything is rosy on either side as far as I can see.

It may not be morally above board in today's societies but it shouldn't be illegal imo. I think people need freedom to choose their own lifestyles and this would be one of those freedoms

I understand what you're saying and that's fine but why the need to get married at all in that case? Why not just have different partners? It kind of defeats the whole purpose of marriage if you ask me and lessons what our society considers marriage to be. Also, I don't know how good it would be to bring children into that kind of situation either.
