It's the same ridiculous reason some people don't mind if gay people are having relationships, but believe that no way should they be able to get married.
It makes no sense to me either. To me, marriage is just expressing your love, and upping your agreement not to leave. If an open relationship was working for a couple, a non-open marriage might change things enough to create problems. Why mess with a good thing, married or not?

Actually I think it's the fact that marrage is known for being a complete monogamous dedication of one's self to another person. As such people with that strict definition in mind can see an open marriage as an oxymoron.
