Denisa 0610 What does it mean "Open relationship" It's analogous to an "open marriage" -- one in which it's agreed that the partners may have intimate relationships with others. Could you please use "In relationship" in a sentence? Thanks.

Hmmm, are you asking the difference between:
being in a relationship,
and
being in an open relationship?

That is, the difference between a regular/normal relationship, and an open relationship?

Yes, of course, I didn't know the difference but I don't have intention to use any of these expressions in a sentence. Why do you recommend to use "in the relationship"?

You asked about "in relationship". I suspect you meant "in a relationship". Nobody mentioned "in the relationship". We like to see a sentence from you so

It's just a matter of common practice.
"Marriage" is a noun, and "relationship" is a noun.

I am in a marriage right now.
I am in a relationship right now.

"John and Mary are in relationship."
Is this OK?
