What is so special in monogamous relationship? If monogamy is natural, why do we struggle at it? No one teaches fish how to swim? Why do we have books on how to avoid cheating? To answer this question,we look at what researchers revealed

Evolutionary scientist David Barish compared monogamy among various animals.

Only 9 percent of mammals practice monogamy

29 percent of primates are monogamous

Before westernisation, 86 percent of indigenous society are no monogamous

Overfamiliarisation with a partner kills a woman libido

30 percent of women have extra-marital affair despite being happy with their marriage.

The numbers are against monogamy. One advantage of monogamy over polygamy is the assurance of a mate for every male. No group of wealthy powerful men can marry off all the women leaving the non powerful men single.. AThe spread of Christianity could be be a dominant factor. Monogamy offers an exclusive sence of ownership each woman on the man rather than having to share him with other women.

Monogamy restricts each party from love and sex with another. Are these two not one of the sweetest feelings? Limited my experience of them should be seen as punnishnent and not something to jubilate to.

In casual friendship, my friend could have other friends beside me and I am cool with that. But in monogamy, It is me and me alone. Any attempt to share love and sex with another is considered cheating. A woman should only love one guy but she can share her love among her children equally. Why can’t she love six men equally? Is this not hypocrisy? It means the heart is capable of loving many but man Jealously choose to limit it to one. In some cases, we argue over what constitutes exclusive acts? Holding hands, seeing one another naked,sharing a bed, kissing etc.

Before we say monogamy is natural, think again.

Monogamy, polygamy...do wetin favor u.

exactly the point

There is no one tiem that polygamy has ever been natural. There are not a lot of polygamous marriages these days and it all depends on the people's beliefs. People choose polygamy, not that they are born with it.

No one ever thinks that monogamy is natural. It is just that there are a few people out there that believe in the whole many women die and you will find out that they are usually these men with too much money at their disposal.

True

when God instituted the covenant of marriage, He designed the relationship to be monogamous.

As for me na polygamy,I go tell them from the beginning ,I want a big family.
Two wives would be perfect,a thrucouple to be exact.

I don't mind if they will be lesbians lol

Is it same in Islam,or how are you sure your own God is the original.

Ogbeni commot here joor!!

[b][/b]In the beginning God made one man and one woman. The bible says the two shall become one, not the three, Polygamy is of the devil because in the beginning it was not so.



I BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD

Monogamy is unnatural.

Why should a guy tie himself to one toto for the rest of his life?

As nice as this article is, I think many persons practice monogamy just to avoid the complications that comes with polygamy. This world is complicated already, many persons are just interested in living a simple easy life.

true

Because when the colonialists came to impose their way of life on us, their Christian missionaries forced those with more than one wife to abandon them, and demonized polygamy. Since we believe that the white man's technological superiority and killing ability also made him morally superior, we rushed to adopt his religion and morals as well, and even more zealously than the original...leading us to this sorry backward state.

Common sense! Before white men came with their colonisation, some of our ancestors married only one wife, even when they came, did everyone adopt their belief? How the hell did monogamy lead to a backward state? Must black people always look for who to blame? The men still practicing polygamy, what value have they contributed to the society if not breeding kids unnecessarily, the white society with their non tolerance of more than one wife, are they not better than us in every aspect?

No race is superior or inferior.

I never disputed that fact.

christianity coursed this monogamy things... islam is perfect about marriage. I was in dubai, those emirates marries 4 and they all live happily. one woman is not enough for a man, everybody is just accepting what we can't change, even these pastors goes behind to sleep with members. if these young girls knows that its a norm for their husband to marry other women, they would prepare their minds from childhood and there won't be any issue in such family even if the wives are up to 4.

Women are hypergamous

Men are polygamous
