The same of course applies to an open marriage, only more so, there are going to be even less people who will 'succeed' in an open marriage than a swinger one.
Are there numbers or case studies or something in what you've read/studied that show a difference in marriage success rates between "swingers" and "open marriage participants"?

An open marriage is often the last resort to fix a broken one,
I've seen swinging used more often by those in a troubled marriage as a last resort than open marriage. That's just my observation from participating in the open marriage/consensual non-monogamy communities, as well as participating in swinging. There seem to be far more swingers than open marriage participants, so I'm curious as to the numbers or where the perception arises as to the reasons or failures of an open marriage.
