The Right Way to Try Openness →
Open marriages can work, and have worked for thousands of couples over decades if not centuries. However, there’s much more involved in maintaining an open marriage than simply asking for one. Such relationships require an ongoing commitment to communication and mutual support, and will almost certainly involve some journeying in the vulnerable territories of jealousy, insecurity and anger –...
