Monogamy is as natural as matrimony and living in houses. Natural implies that it is what would happen in a more primative setting. Sex is natural the number of partners you have is not determined by nature. Monogamy and matrimony are societal items and are dictated by the society you live and not by nature.

MMM probably not always natural but it needs to become that way for the best of human kind..... That is what God wants in our marriages and lives according the the Bible. This will be an interesting thesis paper and i wish your co-worker the best:)

It is certainly not. Our basic instincts drive us to have sex with multiple partners. Our current society now values picking a mate and being monogamous for our lifetimes but this is a struggle because it is not natural. In addition if you think about sex strictly in the sense of survival of the whole it is better for a man or woman to have children by multiple partners. This provides decreased chance of all of ones children dieing because of a bad genetic pairing. We have created a very complex society with lot of rules and benefits but if you take "natural" to mean that if all the artificial rules and benefits of our society were striped away what do you have left then the answer is definitely no.

Natural or not, it has worked for the greater part of humanity for thousands of years. If nature intended for men to have many wives, then there would be that proportion more female births than male. In other words, if six times more girls were born than boys we could assume that each man was intended to have six wives. That doesn't happen.

No, it is not natural, and it's not practiced among all cultures. But you can't use that as an excuse for divorce. We are human, intelligent creatures, we use our brain and don't have to live off of instinct. We can reason and know right from wrong.

In the long term I don't. I think it is more of a society thing. If we were naturally monogamous, divorce would very rarely be an issue.

Natural no. Monogamy is something you choose to do. Men like sex and naturally could care less who it comes from. Men are like dogs they will hump anything to get off.

I don't know. Is killing another human natural? Humans kill other humans. Humans have multiple sex partners. Go figure.

I am still searching for this answer (look at my previous questions asked about polygamy). I am not really sure about this.

I believe in it. However I truly believe it has to do with your morals, standards and trust in a person.
