Open relationships are best when it is through a mutual agreement. Below are some of the benefits of an open marriage: 

1. Both partners will have sexual satisfaction.

This is mainly because when one partner is not able to satisfy the other partner, then they have another option for getting the satisfaction.

There are many married couples who are in a relationship and are not satisfied. When they attend swingers parties, the partner may meet other people who are experts and they will get the satisfaction they want. This is not likely to happen in the case of a monogamous relationship, where the partners are faithful to each other. Instead, they are suffering since most of them are not satisfied or open with each other about their sexual desires.

They may never feel sexual satisfaction such as an orgasm or may lose interest a few years into their marriage known as the 7-year itch.
