This is so very true......and extremely important to understand. If the relationship is weak it will likely never withstand the added pressure that comes with an open marriage. It is also quite different for many men , in that they (I) am quite hypocritical concerning another man becoming involved. I find it unlikely anyone would be unaffected by sexual experimentation with someone outside a marriage bond, But the experience is not negative...per se. It is critical that you are both completely honest with each other where emotions are involved. It WILL come back to bite you in the ass if you are not both on the same page.....thus the term "Open" in this whole thing.
Good Luck
