An open marriage dating site is a place where married people who have agreed to date others, and singles who want to date them, can put that arrangement in the first line of a profile. Open Relationships is one of those sites. Ashley Madison often appears in the same searches, but it is built around discreet affairs, which is a different starting point. Feeld, #Open and 3Fun also come up in this category and are compared below.
Start with the agreement, not the brand name
People type "open marriage dating sites" when they already have a marriage, and when they already have, or are close to having, an agreement. That is a different search from "discreet dating" or "affairs." The results often mix the two, which is how an affairs brand ends up at the top of a list about open marriage. The mix is confusing, and it is expensive if you join the wrong kind of room and then spend a month explaining that your spouse actually knows.
An open marriage, as we use the phrase, is a marriage in which both spouses have agreed that one or both may have romantic or sexual connections with other people. The agreement can be narrow or wide. It can allow dates only, or dating and sex, or separate relationships that last. What it cannot be, on this site, is a surprise to the person you are married to.

Open Relationships for married members
You can say you are married on your profile, in the first lines, along with whether you date together or separately. Couples can link their profiles and still keep their own logins and their own messages, so one spouse is not speaking for the other. Singles who want to date married people can say that too, without treating it as a confession.
You can add a short voice note. Voice notes are live and are moderated before they appear. They help a written profile sound like a person, which matters when a lot of open-marriage profiles start to read the same. They are not a claim that every member has been identity checked. We do not make that claim. The safety guide is clear about public first meetings, money requests, and using block and report.
On Open Relationships, VIP for 1 month is $42.81 charged up front, which works out at $9.99 a week. VIP+ for 1 month is $51.39, which works out at $11.99 a week. Weekly figures are for comparison only. You pay the amount charged up front. 1 month and 3 month plans renew automatically until you cancel. 12 month plans are a single payment and do not renew. The upgrade screen shows the exact amount before you pay. See Pricing for the full table.
Ashley Madison, because it will be in your search results
Ashley Madison is a well-known brand, and it appears often when people look for open marriage dating. It is built around discreet affairs. If your spouse does not know, that is the kind of product you were already searching for, and this site will not pretend otherwise. If your spouse does know, and you want the next person you meet to treat that as normal, you want a different room.
The longer argument is on Open Relationships vs Ashley Madison. The short version is the first question you should ask of any site in this category: is the marriage an agreement, or a secret? This site only works for the first of those.
Feeld, #Open and 3Fun
Feeld is a broader dating app, used by many people who are not married and by some who are. It can work for an open marriage if you are willing to state the structure clearly and accept that many profiles are there for other reasons. #Open is a specialist product in the wider non-exclusive market. 3Fun is more often used by couples looking for a group or a third person, which may or may not be what your marriage has agreed.
None of those products is "wrong." They are pointed at slightly different jobs. If your marriage has agreed that you will date separately, a couples-and-groups product may feel like a poor fit. If you only date together, a site that treats each spouse as a separate account with a linked profile, which is what we do, may feel more precise. Read the individual pages: vs Feeld, vs #Open, and vs 3Fun.
General apps, used carefully
Some married people stay on a mainstream app and mention the open marriage in the profile. That can work, and it is how a lot of couples start. It also produces a steady stream of first messages from people who did not read that line, or who read it as a hint that the spouse does not know. If you are tired of that stream, a specialist site is the more direct remedy.
If you are the single person
Dating someone who is married and whose spouse knows is a real form of dating, not a consolation prize. It has its own limits: calendars, existing commitments, and the need to hear, in plain language, that the spouse has agreed. Dating someone in an open relationship is written for you, and it applies to open marriages as well.
You are allowed to ask questions that protect you. You are allowed to leave if the answers are vague. A site that treats the marriage as an agreement makes those questions easier to ask, because they are not an accusation. They are the starting point.
Choose by the sentence you can stand behind
Write the arrangement in one sentence, together if you are a couple. If you cannot write it yet, pause and use how to raise it with a partner before you create a profile. If you can write it, put it at the top and Signup Here. If you already have an account, Sign in and check that the first lines still match the marriage you actually have.
Common questions
What is an open marriage dating site?
It is a dating site for married people who have agreed, with their spouse, that dating other people is part of the marriage, and for singles who want to meet them. The agreement is the point of the profile, not a private note added later.
Is Open Relationships for open marriages as well as open relationships?
Yes. An open marriage is treated as a real, agreed structure, not as a side case. You can say you are married, whether you date together or separately, and what a new connection would actually be.
How is this different from an affairs site?
An affairs brand is built for discretion when a spouse does not know. Open Relationships is for people whose spouse does know, or who are seriously working out an agreement before they date. If your partner has not agreed, this is the wrong site.
What does it cost?
VIP for 1 month is $42.81 charged up front, which works out at $9.99 a week. VIP+ for 1 month is $51.39, which works out at $11.99 a week. See the pricing page for every plan. The upgrade screen is the amount you pay.
