Open Marriage
Open
marriage typically refers to a marriage in which the partners agree that
each is free to engage in extramarital sexual relationships, without
regarding this as sexual infidelity. The origins of the term open
marriage remain obscure. Researchers in the 1960s used the term open
marriage to describe individual freedom in choosing marriage partners.
Closed marriage meant individuals had to marry someone based on social
prohibitions and social prescriptions. Open marriage meant individuals
could choose to marry someone based on personal preferences.
Couples in open marriage expose themselves to situations that can
potentially provoke jealousy. Most couples in open marriages report
experiencing jealousy at some point during their marriage. Couples in
open marriages also experience jealousy more frequently than couples in
sexually monogamous marriages. Ground rules are one way to help manage
jealousy in open relationships. However, ground rules may not be
sufficient. Couples in open marriages may benefit from a general
understanding of jealousy and how to cope with it.
