Open Marriage

Open Marriage

It is never a good idea to fix a broken or troubled marriage by switching to an open marriage unless it is something you have explored in the past with success. If a relationship or marriage is broken then the only cure is discovering what broke it and making the effort to work on that thing. 

Open marriages and relationships only work for certain types of people. Both partners have to be fully onboard with the concept and have a clear understanding of any rules that need to be followed.  

Good communication is the key. You have to make time to discuss the problems within your relationship with your partner. If you can do that just the two of you then great if not you may need to seek professional help. A professional can help to mediate the conversations. Burying your head in the sand or trying to create a quick fix by switching to an open relationship is not the answer.

Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
