Is Human Monogamy Natural or Unnatural?

Inspired by another thread. The question is simple. Is human monogamy natural or unnatural?

Hmmmmmm good question... 🤨

I'll side with the bible, without thinking about the question at all...🙄

Sometimes is odd though, cause you can ask a person at different points in their lives and you'll get different answers depending on their age and circumstance's...

I think it is unnatural.

OK, then depending on religions also.

No, I believe its cultural. If the choice was mine, I would have a harem like an Arabian Prince. But my religion says I cant, so I only have one wife.

It would be easier to just be a player and keep a bunch of GF's!🙂 Probably cost alot less as well prenup's anyone?

Monogamy is not the typical MO of most animals. However, some would argue that we are not part of nature. Therefore, monogamy is a gift from god and a pillar of civilized society. However, that argument falls on it's face when you consider the many animals that mate for life.

It goes both ways in nature......

I mean the question is "human monogamy natural or unnatural" so I guess we are assuming monogomy is natural in the first place.

I suppose it could be...........It's kind of a new thought for me....Well, with the divorce rate going up....hmmm...makes you wonder if people should stay together forever, and many stay together and are NOT happy, though there are many who are, but seems the relationship changes somewhat..

Yeah know happiness is subjective. Most divorces occur in my opinion not for lack of caring but lack of people meeting specific expectations that aren't clearly communicated in the first part of the relationship🙂

Hey you can be happy or married and I say come pry the smile off my face. 😉

Word

Taking a wife and staying faithfull to her is natural.

Having and raising a family is natural.

We've only been doing it in countless cultures and societies for like, oh 5,000 years now. 😉

No...

Supporting your kids is important.......They are your offspring.

Polygamy is just as "natural", and just as old, as monogamy.
