Freedom of Marriage
According to the Christian Bible, before a couple is married they should limit their sexual activities. Life before marriage is confined, limited, restricted, and there are many sexual prohibitions for the single person. Then when a Christian couple marries they are set free, liberated to engage in sexual activities. The Bible actually gives greater sexual freedom to a married husband and wife than to anyone else.
I find it ironic that we appear to have reversed God's intent for marriage. Today, people view marriage as restrictive, limiting, and giving up freedom. Some people view it as the "ball and chain" or a symbol of imprisonment. I find it discouraging that Christian couples have willingly given up their freedom and portrayed Christian marriage as a set of rules, rather than the freedom that God intended. Somehow, the Church has painted marriage as something much less than what God intended. It is sad that the world is enjoying more sexual freedom than Christians, when it probably should be the other way around.
When will Christians exercise the freedom and demonstrate that God intended marriage to be the ultimate pleasurable experience. It was God that created us naked, and God that told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiple. He also said the marriage bed was undefiled.

I am curious...do you believe it is okay for a husband and wife to have a threesome with either another man or another woman?
Is a threesome permitted as part of the freedom of marriage?
The bible is reasonably clear that it is wrong for a man to lay with another man as he does a woman (Lev 20:13). It is less specific for women, but Romans 1:26-27 appears to tie the unnatural actions of women to the same sinful and detestable conduct. Therefore, if a threesome included any homosexual or bisexual activities it would be violating biblical principles and wrong. Although the bible grants a great deal of freedom to a married husband and wife, I still believe there are boundaries to that freedom. Just like a car gives you the freedom to travel further distances and go places that you could not travel on foot, even so a car has boundaries and rules...which are there to protect us and other people.
Finally, sex between a husband and wife has a great deal of freedom...but introducing someone that is not part of the marriage results in adultery. As soon as a man has sex with a woman who is not his wife (MFF-3 some), then he has committed adultery. Likewise, as soon as a wife has sex with another man who is not her husband (FFM-3 some), then she has committed adultery. Exodus 20:14 and multiple other verses condemn adultery. Therefore, I'm not sure how you can engage in a threesome and not violate a biblical principle designed to protect marriage. There are not many boundaries on a married couple, but the few boundaries that exist are there for our protection.
