What does Open Marriage mean?
An open marriage is a marriage in which both partners explicitly agree that each may pursue sexual or romantic connections outside the relationship. It is defined by mutual consent and agreement, not by any fixed structure — the couple determines the rules.
An open marriage is distinguished from infidelity by explicit, ongoing agreement. The arrangement can include emotional or physical connections, equal or asymmetric permissions, and rules that change over time, but neither partner's consent can be assumed from the label.
The term is broader than swinging and less structurally specific than polyamory. What matters is the actual agreement, including safer-sex practices, disclosure, time, privacy, and the right to pause.
JoinTheSwing is designed for adults who have had those conversations. Identity review and privacy controls can support introductions; the platform cannot verify a couple's private agreement or guarantee discretion, compatibility, or conduct.
