[Will Smith reveals what he's learned from having an open relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith]( A lot of pitfalls can come with having an open marriage. When a partner allows the other to stray it can create jealousy and ruin the ties that bind a couple together.

That gives frustrated partners a chance to fulfill their needs without having to leave a marriage that's satisfying otherwise. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith recently admitted they have experimented with an open relationship and it nearly ended them for good.
