If you are looking for literature references from studies to support that claim, then no. I am sure there has not been a population study where someone attempted to determine the strength of the bond between partners based on the openness of their relationship. To explain how I have come to that conclusion would take more time than I care to give, but here are the bullet points of my credentials:

- Intimate exposure to large sample group throughout the US.- Ability, via internet, to dialog with many different sub-categories of people on the subject. These categories include age, race, and religion.- Plus my advantage of not always being a swinger, and therefore having a solid understanding of the psyche of both groups, allows me to better evaluate the subject.

Bottom line, if you need a double-blind study from a non-biased team of experts to accept the idea that couples without jealousy in their relationship (swingers) will have a better chance of staying together than those who more often do (monogamous partners), then I am not smart enough to help you understand the lifestyle any better.
