This is related to ones personality. If one of the two people in an open marriage gets jealous than the marriage is ultimately likely to fail. Jealousy is something that is not usually controlable.
That said, there are a couple of things that you can do:
1. Allow the marriage to be open but keep any encounters under a don't ask don't tell sort of arrangement. The idea here being that if you don't know what is happening then you can't really get jealous over it. (This could be established as a one sided rule if one of the two in the marriage actually likes to hear about the others encounters.)
2. Keep the encounters as something that you both do together with another married open couple. That is if this situation could prevent jealousy. The idea here is that both people in the relationship are getting a similar perceivd benefit. Not being left out could prevent jealousy in some circumstances.
3. Make sure that you are spending more time with one on one encounters together than those outside of the relationship. In other words, he or she is always coming back to YOU and nobody else.
4. Don't have this sort of arrangement in the first place
Besides the above, if you are having an open relationship it is important that you both are careful in preventing diseases.
I have one friend who is married that has this sort of arrangement. I believe that if you BOTH truly love each other, BOTH can distingish the difference between love and just having sex from a recreational standpoint, BOTH can keep love inside of your marriage and away from what is happing recreationally and jealousy is not an issue, open marriage arrangements can work (but often they do not).
What else can I help you with?
Open marriage how do you know if you want one or need one?
An open marriage means you can have more than one sexual partner or, both of you can have several sexual partners.

Under what conditions does the Church grant a marriage annulment?
.Roman Catholic AnswerThere is only one condition under which the Church would grant an annulment for a marriage and that is when the marriage is invalid. A marriage might be invalid for several reasons - the most open and shut case would be lack of form: a Catholic who did not get married before a priest, as he or she is required to do. If one of the persons in the marriage had some kind of handicap that would prevent them giving full consent to a lifelong marriage that is open to life - that would also invalidate a marriage. There are several conditions that must be met for a valid marriage to take place: both persons entering into the marriage must be free to marry: of age, and single. They must freely consent to a lifelong commitment that is open to life (not intending to use birth control), and have no mental or emotional handicaps that would impair an adult, lifelong commitment. If any necessary condition is absent, a case can be made for the marriage being invalid.

How do you propose an open marriage to your husband?
When two individuals marry they say their vows to God and they are suppose to remain together 'until death do us part.' There are no words in those vows that suggest an open marriage. The truth about open marriages is that one of the spouses is simply bored so it would be wise to communicate the problems with each other and if one of the spouses is that unhappy where they want an open marriage then they need to divorce and they can have all the openness in their lives they want. No matter how modern the practice can be in modern society it is wrong!

Does marriage seminars benefit couples with problems?
Yes, Marriage Seminars benefit couples with marriage problems, but only if the individuals in the relationship are open minded and will accept the help. There is a percentage of men that often refuse to seek help for marriage problems mainly out of fear of airing their dirty laundry in public to fear of being blamed for the marriage problems. The Marriage Seminars are not meant to put blame on one person or the other as a couple, but to open up new doors and good tools to a healthier and stronger marriage. If the couple is serious about getting help and know they will follow the recommendations of the Marriage Seminar then it will help.
