An open marriage is a "marriage" whereby the spouses have mutually agreed to have other sexual partners. Depending on the "agreement" the other relationships can be heterosexual or homosexual or bisexual, or any or all of the above.
Although Biblically it is considered a form of adultery, in practice the term "adultery" is generally limited to a extra-marital sexual relationship by one spouse, where the other has not consented to it.
There are, of course, no genuine statistics proving that such an arrangement is any more beneficial, or at least neutral, to traditional marriage which has lasted since the beginning of creation.
