Would there be less divorce rates if people talked about having open marriages more?

Probably not.

Having worked in a divorce lawyer’s office, I open marriages isn’t necessarily the thing that will stop people from getting divorced.

According to the information I’ve se3en, almost 92 percent of couples who have an open relationship eventually divorce. Despite this, there is no evidence that open marriages are more effective than traditional monogamous relationships. In fact, there are some studies that show that they are less effective.

One study found that a slight increase in the risk of divorce was associated with couples who engaged in extramarital sex. Another study found no difference in divorce rates.

The long-term effects of divorce can be devastating for children and their parents. It can lead to more substance use, higher rates of binge drinking, and higher rates of school suspensions. In addition, it can increase crime rates and increase the risk of suicide. It can also cost the government $33.3 billion each year.

One way that open marriages can complicate the process is if the parties change their minds. In other words, if one of the partners is unsure about their open relationship, the other party may be tempted to file for divorce on grounds of adultery.

I hope you’ve found this information helpful.
