    • Higher levels of satisfaction in relationship. According to research published in the Journal of Social Psychological and Personality Science, couples who participate in open marriages report higher levels of overall satisfaction and trust in the relationship—and Sadri notes that they may also experience lower levels of jealousy.
    • Stronger communication skills. Sustaining open relationships still takes hard work and for both couples to experience personal growth, Dr. Melancon notes that there must be clear lines of open communication so couples can discuss nuances in relationship dynamics and emotion.
    • A deepened sense of trust. In order for a partner to feel comfortable with their spouse dating and/or having sexual relationships with other people, it is necessary that they trust that their partner will always come home to them, according to Dr. Melancon.
    • An added level of love and appreciation. “While a common stereotype of open marriages is that the couple isn’t actually that committed and don’t really care for one another, in successful open marriages there is often an abundance of love,” says Dr. Melancon.

    • Discuss your motivations thoroughly. Before opening up a marriage, have an honest dialogue about what each of you hopes to get out of the experience.
    • Agree on explicit boundaries and guidelines. Sitting down and explicitly deciding on open marriage dos and don'ts is crucial. Will you have group sex together or see people separately?
    • Set time commitments. Agree on how much time you’ll devote to outside partners versus your relationship. Limit overnight stays or set days that are just for the two of you.
    • Don't restrict sexual activities. It can breed resentment if one spouse restricts the sexual activities the other can explore with new partners. As long as activities are legal and don't endanger anyone's health, it's usually best to allow your spouse sexual freedom.
