Reasons Why Couples Opt For Open Marriage

There may not be any statistic to prove it, but open marriages seem to be on the rise. More and more couples eventually opt for open marriages, because they feel they’re either not compatible with each other, or they feel it is too late to divorce each other. They simply do not see a point in breaking up with each other and hence decide to stay put in a marriage for superficial reasons. Open marriages are viewed as a convenient model by some couples who want to stay put in the marriage for external reasons and to keep others happy. However, deep down they may have no real attachment with each other.
