As we&#8217;ve expressed time and time again, communication and transparency are the key tenants to an open relationship&#8217;s success or failure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s more interesting is that the survey found 3 percent of these couples were having sex with someone outside of the marriage and without their partner&#8217;s knowledge. Keep in mind, these are the people admitting to an affair, which we can assume is a lowball. This further validates the concept of an open relationship where transparency is prioritized over deceit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey also found that twice as many millennials were in open relationships when compared to Gen Z, which suggest that youth isn&#8217;t the determiner of alternative lifestyle explorations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As open relationships continue to grow, more people will need to embark on journeys that include much more robust relationship communications. This may serve to reduce instances of extra-marital affairs. At the very least, conversations regarding open relationships help foster an environment of transparency for both partners. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open relationships are on the rise worldwide as people begin to explore non-monogamous relationship options as a way to stave off divorce, and boredom.
