Why did monogamy become the designated standard?

[Ari]

I can tell you exactly why monogamy became so-called ' the in thing.' Simple, in ancient times if a male had sex with a female it was considered a marriage. The Roman leaders wanted to have sex with anyone they pleased without having to take care of said females or their children that were sired by said male. To easy this burden, men ( in ancient Rome and a few other places ) made it a law that a man could have only one wife, so as to avoid legal responsibility for his masculine part and the consequences of its use.

The monogamy law was not enforced then, it was only created for convenience. Any man who wanted more than one wife could have one as the law would not be enforced if said man wanted so much responsibility.

As God is the same yesterday, today, and forever; what was Biblicaly permitted by God in the day is still permitted by God now ( as God never changes.)


A few  polygamists in the Bible were :

Father Abraham

Isaac

Jacob ( had 4 wives )

The 12 sons of Israel ( Jacob )

Moses ( who had at least 2 wives)

King Solomon

King David

amongst many others!!!!


I believe in polygamy very much, but it should be lived as prescribed by God and His holy word and not as lustful people would have it.

Anyway, if you want to know more about it, I know a whole lot about this particular subject. Hit me up anytime!

God's speed!

I'm also a christian. Too bad I can't find any christian girls (or any girls at all) who share my views on polygamy.

Am I the only one who finds it strange to spend the rest of your life together with the same person? Among the monogamous species, very few (if any) are mammals and none are primates. In most ancient tribe societies, both men and women had several lovers and among our closest relatives --the chimpanzees--(to quote Penn Jillette) "everybody f*cks everybody".

To me, it seems that everyone is polyamorous deep down in their instincts, but centuries of authorities pushing their moral standards on to the people have caused it to become stigmatized. This is probably why most relationships fail, why spouses cheat on each other and why most marriages end in divorce.

The way I see it is if some one were actualy in a relationship with some one then stay faithful to that person, however if not then basicaly live it up! (that dosen't nessicarily mean to be a wh**e/manWh**e as you should have some respect for yoursefl) I read some whare that the grate percentage of sexual activites that resulted in pregnancy was sex for fun and not for procreation, thus what i'm saying bassicaly mean that it helps procreate the human race
