Would You Ever Give Your Significant Other "A Night Off" From Your Relationship?

Could you give your significant other a "night off" with someone else?

That's exactly what the writer of this article, Carmen Rodriguez, did with her ex (the relationship ended later for different reasons) and she claims it strengthened their bond.  Could you picture yourself ever doing this in your relationship?  This is different from an open relationship in that it's a monogamous one overall, but one or both parties have come to the agreement that they'll give the other one "night off" to be (or sleep with) whomever they choose.  To read more, click here.

Do you think that being able to do this means a couple is more "enlightened" or "advanced" than regular couples?  Do you think a relationship could benefit from it?  Or, does it just spell trouble?  For me, that's not something I could ever do - same goes for open relationships, but definitely to each their own.  In my opinion, though, relationships where one or both people give each other "a night off" can bring more trouble than an open relationship, because with open ones, at least you know what you're getting yourself into from the beginning.
