Many people who claimed that they had one were frowned upon. Nowadays, it is more common than ever. Sure, it isn’t quite the norm yet.

As a result, more and more people are starting to open up to the idea. This is great! You will be surprised at just how many benefits there are to an open marriage.

Obviously, the biggest benefit of an open marriage is the fact that you get to be with other people. A married person would be lying if they told you that they were not attracted to people other than their spouse. The human mind doesn’t work like that. You do not just stop being sexually attracted to people because you said “I do” at the altar. All marriage means is that you will no longer be able to act on those desires. Be honest, as a married person, how many times have you had the opportunity to have something more with somebody else, but didn’t due to your spouse? Well, if you are in an open marriage, then you will be able to seize those opportunities. If one comes your way, then go for it. It gives you something a touch more varied. Of course, you will also be able to look at those people that catch your eye, completely guilt-free. Trust me, the first time it happens, it is a completely wonderful feeling.
