Ever wonder if an open marriage is the right path for you and your partner? This is a question that comes up more often than you might think, and it’s worth looking at with an open mind when it comes up.So, let’s get started. If you’re considering ethical non-monogamy (ENM), whether that means polyamory, swinging, or something else, tHere’s a guiding principle to keep you grounded: Communicate, communicate, communicate. ENM can bring an incredible new dimension to a relationship, but even if you’re both fully committed, you may feel neurological reactions like excitement, curiosity, and maybe even fear or jealousy.

This isn’t surprising—most of us live in monogamy-centered cultures that may not fully “get” the growth and connection possible with ENM. Let’s be honest, though, monogamy has its own ups and downs. So, if you’re on the verge of exploring a more open relationship (or are already there), here are some key questions to consider:

  1. What are the boundaries between texting and staying in touch with others?
  2. Which intimacies are appropriate for each other, and which ones can you share outside of yourself?
  3. How will you handle issues like STD testing or the possibility of pregnancy?
  4. Perhaps most importantly – how will you handle all of these emotions, the time required, and the life you already share?

ENM isn’t for everyone, and that’s totally okay. But if it’s calling you, start by keeping lines of communication open, honest and non-judgmental. This can be a fun and sexy topic in your relationship!
