For many of my friends, the time is right for them to settle down and start families. This is especially true for my girlfriends, who are anxious about meeting a ‘special’ kind of man who will dedicate all his time and resources towards making them happy. Nevertheless, a sizable number of my friends are terrified of the idea of getting married. Most of my acquaintances who are not excited by the idea of getting married cite the high instances of divorce and increasing rates of infidelity among married couples as their main hindrances towards getting married. I believe the marriage institution in its current form is flawed, and it has moved from a natural to unnatural form. In this paper, I will show how monogamy is the main undoing in today’s marriages and how abandoning it could restore the institution of marriage. Many of my girlfriends flinch at the idea of a polygamous marriage or even an open relationship. Most of these ladies insist that relationships should follow the ‘one man, one woman’ format. The main argument towards this reasoning is that monogamous relationships are beneficial to society. Monogamous relationships confine one partner to another and therefore serve as sanitizers to the society’s morals. Weddings are highly regarded in society because they are the hallmark of monogamy and some of my friends have already imagined how the day they swear to monogamy should look like. Individuals who show contempt towards monogamy are shunned by both the society and the legal system. For this reason, some of my close friends consider me a ‘freak’ for opposing monogamy. Currently, the practices of polygamy, infidelity, and bigamy are considered illegal in almost all states across the country. I have been led to believe that the only way I can be respected in society as a woman is by associating myself to one man. According to most people, abandoning monogamy would lead to a chaotic society where women are taken advantage of, and the moral fabric of the society is compromised. When I asked one of my friends whether monogamy is natural, she replied that monogamy is a natural bond among humans and it is made possible by a deep romantic love between mates. This reasoning is quite common among women, although a large portion of men dispute it. One of my girlfriends assures me that monogamy only fails when the bond between the two lovers is compromised. Some psychologists have supported this opinion by claiming that failure in communication is a major contributor to the breakdown of monogamous relationships. If all of the above claims and arguments were solid enough, the situation on the ground would be different. Currently, it is common knowledge that over fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. Even though human beings are supposedly monogamous, the monogamous-marriage institution is failing at an alarming rate. The possibility of divorce is so real such that almost everyone I know who gets into a marriage nowadays signs a prenuptial agreement. This agreement is supposed to ease a possible divorce scenario. While this might be understandable, the contents of some of the prenuptial agreements I have seen highlight the cynicism towards monogamous relationships. For instance, some prenuptial agreeme
