Description

Our intimate relationships are in a state of flux. Marriage, once considered a sacred institution, is increasingly overlooked, while divorce is a common feature of family life. Online, millions tune in to see cheaters exposed, and more people are exploring alternative arrangements like open marriages and polyamory. These trends suggest that monogamy, as traditionally practiced, may no longer align with the needs of our modern, secular society-or that our current model is fundamentally flawed. Understanding Monogamy explores the idea that while monogamy is not natural, it has become the norm, creating a moral dilemma for individuals and society. Science has shown that humans are not inherently suited for lifelong, exclusive partnerships. Yet, monogamy persists, and rejecting it without understanding its roots only replicates the conflicts it creates. This book delves into how monogamy became the default relationship model and exposes the myths that distort our expectations of it. While societal change may continue to challenge monogamy, it remains the gold standard for many. To reduce the suffering caused by unmet expectations, Understanding Monogamy encourages readers to examine their own beliefs about love and sex, and how these shape their experiences in relationships. By developing a deeper understanding of these dynamics, individuals can navigate coupledom with greater awareness and authenticity. Understanding Monogamy is an essential guide for anyone considering a sexually exclusive relationship, struggling within one, or exploring alternatives. It provides valuable insights and practical guidance, helping readers make conscious, compassionate choices in their pursuit of love. Because everyone deserves a relationship that is true to who they are and filled with love
