Serial monogamy. A negative connotation or are we too afraid to face reality?

Question

With the average marriage ending in divorce in three years, most serial monogamist relationships outlast the traditional monogamists. Are we fooling ourselves with this catch phrase?

The point I was trying to make is should there really be a stigma attached to serial monogamy when a good portion of the population fit into this catagory?

Answer 1

people should not marry unless they are content with being monogamist, my husband and myself are we are looking forward to the next 50 years of marriage and would never want someone else "using" us.
I think we live in a very sex sick country that makes out like that life is fulfilling or great, in reality it is empty shallow and where you are just used for someone else's "greed" or pleasure than for a true desire to love and be loved.
all but one of my aunts have made it 30+ we know who to pick as a life partner and how to be there for each other.

Answer 2

I was married 27 years to a good christian man and we had 3 beautiful children and then one day he tells me its over. We divorced and hes now remarried. I met a good man about 5 years ago and neither of us wanted to remarry after having already gone through it before. We have lived together the last 4 years and have been very happy. He is not using me anymore than I am using him. We share the finances and take care of each others needs, but even more importantly we have Trust and lots of Communication and Laughter. These are three essential keys in a successfull relationship.

Answer 3

thats a awesome question.i think humans can only be monogamist if the person they are married to fufills all their needs.

Answer 4

Serial monogomy is more realistic. To expect to spend your entire life with only one person is unnatural in my opinion. I know it happens, but it's rare and often forced.

Answer 5

If you are there for each other you can be monogamist.
