Open Marriage

Open marriage is a consensual arrangement where married partners agree to romantic or sexual relationships outside their marriage. Unlike traditional monogamy, both partners maintain trust and communication, setting boundaries and rules to navigate these external relationships. The goal is to prioritize honesty, respect, and mutual understanding, allowing individuals to explore needs or desires without ending the marital partnership. Open marriages can vary widely in terms of rules and levels of involvement, but fundamentally, they emphasize transparent agreements that suit the couple's specific preferences and boundaries.
