If there were less social pressures to fit the "normal" family life and all that and people were more accepting/understanding of open and polyamorous relationships maybe the marriage system wouldn't seem so broken... But also as the article and others have said communication is key, and I think many people dont want to spend the time to work on communicating, just look for a quick fix and when they dont see it they bail.

Actually you will be supprised how many marriages are NOT broken up. It all stems back to how strong and solid the relationship was in the first place, and WHY the couple entered into the lifestyle in the first place. If the spouse is doing in ONLY because they love their SO and don't want to hurt their feelings, then yea, it probably WILL end in divorce. It stems back to communication and how they feel about each other.
