Why is Open Marriage a Happy Marriage

 Here, usually, open relationships are thought to occur between two people in a primary relationship who have agreed to open up their relationship sexually — but not romantically.

So, while “open relationship” always suggests that the relationship exists outside the One Person Is My Everything framework (aka monogamy), to find out exactly what someone means by it, you gotta see some swinger lifestyle videos. 

Happy Polyamorous Couples in Open Marriage Relationship.

An open relationship is a form of non-monogamy, which is an umbrella term for any physical or romantic partnership that is not predicated on exclusivity. The great thing is, once you’ve decided that you can include other people or lovers into your relationship, you can make it whatever you want. It's up to the couple to decide what levels of involvement with secondary partners feel comfortable. Generally, the one rule with non-monogamy is that all sluttery must be done ethically, safely, and with the consent of all parties involved. Beyond that, each pair or group determines its own limits and guidelines.

While swingers tend to keep their outside relationships to the realm of sex with other established couples, and polyamory is all about having multiple committed, romantic partners, people in open relationships can usually have sex with others they feel attracted to—with the caveat that these other relationships remain casual. In other words, you can have sex with whomever you want, but you are not pursuing intimate, committed relationships with other partners.
Some people know from their teenage years that they are not interested in monogamy, despite the prevalent expectation that everyone will, one day, be in a monogamous relationship leading to marriage. Others dip into open relationships because of circumstances, like having a crush on someone new or because a partner presents the possibility.

Reasons you might consider an open relationship:

• You and your partner both have a lot of love to give and believe you can love more than one person at once.

• You want to explore your sexuality or sexual relationships with someone of a different gender.

• You and your partner have a case of mismatched libidos.

• One partner is asexual and not interested in sex, and the other would like to have sex.

• One partner has a particular kink or hotwife fantasy that they want to explore that the other has no interest in.

• Seeing (wife sharing) your partner have sex with someone else turns you on, or vice versa.

Technology also imports nonmonogamy into mainstream heterosexual dating life, making the concept more visible and transparent. On the popular dating site OkCupid, couples seeking other partners can link their profiles; users can filter their searches for people who label themselves “nonmonogamous.” The site, an intimate tool in the romantic lives of its users, renders no judgment, and therefore normalizes, institutionally, a practice few people had neutral language for in the past. Among 40-to-50-year-olds who identify themselves as nonmonogamous on OkCupid, 16 percent also announce that they are married, according to the site.

Only you can decide whether an open relationship is right for you. Opening a relationship involves taking a closer look at your beliefs and feelings about monogamy, examining what you really expect from love and partnership, and being vulnerable with your feelings. It takes a lot of maturity and compassion.
