Open Marriage Acceptance
Surveys show large majorities of people disapprove of extramarital sexual activity. A few studies show people specifically disapprove of open marriages. Critics have put forward moral, medical, and psychological objections to open marriages.

This may limit their social support network.{{Citation needed|date=March 2012}
