This section ( Polyamory vs Swinging ) is too repetitive although the general information is good, the information needs to be compacted.Bronayur 02:51, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

There are open marriages which do not identify as either polyamorous or swinging. This article is structured around a false dichotomy. In practice, polyamory and swinging are labels of particular communities rather than a philosophical stance. Saying that these two categories contain all (or most) open marriages seems to come from an urban American bias. --68.173.108.136 (talk) 15:28, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

proposed merge
The articles Open marriage, Open marriage relationship, Open marriage styles, Open marriage acceptance, Open marriage incidence, and Open marriage jealousy ought to be merged into Open relationship.

The destination article clearly encompasses the subject matter of all six articles. These are content forks, and these have in fact become interleaved and self-referential; for instance, sections have been added to Open marriage simply to justify the existence of other articles, and likewise sections have been put into the smaller articles to point back to each other.

When the merge is completed, the significant redundancies can be readily removed, leaving a single credible destination for the topic. Weeb Dingle (talk) 22:45, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

No dispute. Article contents moved to Open marriage. Open marriage will eventually be merged into Open relationship. Weeb Dingle (talk) 19:01, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
