if you are a gal, of course it is not natural.\n\nif you are a guy, heck! it's not only natural but almost necessary. one official gal, and many informal ones discreetly hanging around. sorry if it shocks anybody, but hey we are speaking genetics here and ALL guyz are the same. Perhaps not at the first few years, but sooner or later...you bet!

According to Catholicism, anyway, it is certainly possible to marry the wrong person.  Problem is, you promised to be faithful 'for better or worse, till death do us part.'  In other words, thank God for your blessings, ask His help, and make the best of your marriage.  If your spouse dies, then you may of course remarry.  If your spouse is still living, then yes, it is adultury.  As for heaven or hell, that's up to God and not me.

no, I don't think that finding the right partner is all nonsense.  I feel it is very true that it is pretty impossible to find the 'right' partner.  People are just so different.  However I don't feel that the monks have it right either, because spending all of your time focusing on inner growth won't do much good in the world.  The best answer to this question would have to be, that yes you should have a partner, but no you don't NEED a partner, because everyone is different, I know several people that work better alone and they are fine with it.  Most people shouldn't go through life alone, that's not why we were put here (not going into religious ideologies).  If people 100's of years ago went through life alone like people do now, I think that populations would be much smaller than they are today.

Attraction is not exclusive. You can be in love with more than one person at a time, however it isn't fair to cheat on either. Your feelings are your own, your actions will affect the people you love and may hurt them.\n\nUnless you live in very unconventional circumstances, one of your loves had better remain unfulfilled. That's a fairly common state of being, really - how many people still pine after their first great love even though cosily arranged?

It depends on your character.For most of us enjoying that "lots of thing in the world" without a partner is impossible specially in long term.Love, support and all other things we take from our partner is the most effective thing on our soul i think.beautiful landscapes, our job and etc are not enough.

I am a cultural relativist, so I see no reason to judge other cultures poorly if they have a tradition of polygamy. They have their own reasons for doing it. Historically, polygamy has been far more widespread than monogamy. It's still practiced by some cultures today. If you look, most of them come from areas where survival is difficult, and it's easier to survive and to reproduce if you have multiple wives. I'd also like to point out that, although there aren't nearly as many, there are also a few cultures where the wives have multiple husbands. Again, you can usually see environmental reasons for it.\n\nPersonally, I don't understand most people in this country who consider themselves poly, because it always seems to me that there's a "third wheel" who doesn't get as much attention as one of the other partners. But if that's their thing, that's their thing. Maybe it works fine for them and I simply can't understand from an outsider's perspective. I really think the most important thing is: are the people in the situation happy, and is anyone being hurt by it? If the answer to the first question is yes, and the second one no, then it's all good.

Only 10 percent of all animals in the animal kingdom mate for life, so the odds against humans being monogamous.And love has nothing to do with sex,as the worlds oldest professions can attest to!

For me being an old fashioned romantic kind of guy and a strictly monogamous gentleman. I wouldn't use those words exactly. But, if we're that much in love and we have a strong long lasting commitment between us. I would let her know that I'd love to have children with her. The woman is ALWAYS included in the package. The family package ! :)

Having both is impossible,but you can do one thing,make a small test, give them both the oportunity to show how much you mean to each one, try unembaressing ways,the financial part maybe, or even how much one can sacrifice for you, this would be a test were you can pick the right person for you...after all you want someone To live with you happily didecating his life for your relationship,,i hope i was clear. best luck

Yes.  Mine for one.\nThe 'infatuation' stage of love lasts no more than a year.  After that, marriage is a full-time job for both partners.  It can, and is, done a lot of the time.  You just do not hear about the successes, just as you rarely hear 'good news' on the network news reports.

I would say yes, Why not.!  i mean you can love your partner and your kids etc so why not another man.  Your only problem would be if you had to choose between them.

When a woman has more than one husband it's called polyandry.\n\nI can't say if I approve of it- it's definitely not for me.  But, who am I to say it's not okay for other people?  As long as the people involved are adults and are concenting, I don't see anything wrong with it.  However, it's not a cultural norm, so I admit I'd probably make fun of them!  :-)\n\nThe Bible does NOT say it's wrong- in fact many of God's favorites (like King David) had many wives.

SURE!!!\n\nIt's moralistically wrong to LIVE with somebody, so since you don't really have any kind of COMITTMENT or moral compass to begin with then go ahead, cheat away!\n\nHave a few kids and catch some STD's too while you're at it-remember, there ARE NO RULES!!!!\n\nweeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

It's possible to be in love with several people at the same time. Confusing, but possible.\nSome people believe that people are not naturally monogamous - that monogamy, like other forms of marriage, is a cultural construct. As such, not everybody fits into the same square holes. This can cause people a lot of trouble, but it is best to be honest with yourself, and then with the lovers in your life. \nAfter wife # 1 (a complete disaster) I knew I couldn't be monogamous, and with wife # 2, I told her this and we had an open marriage. It lasted 5 years, and we are still good friends. Neither one of us was particularly jealous by nature, and I know many other people who aren't. Having lived through it though, I no longer embrace open marriage. I keep my extra lovers on the fantasy level, and keep my real relationship real.

I've been married 28 years ,and it's still in doubt .It seems the spirit and the flesh are somewhat incompatible .You can do what you want, it seems to quench the spirit tho for a time .

We are not biologically designed to be monogamous. We can do it, but it goes against our natural inclinations.

I would do that if I know my partner is the one for me to live together for the rest of my life. The colour of the skin? It's just an outlook only. You can have fair & white skin but the heart inside is as evil as a demon. It's the character of a person matter the most when you choose a life partner. You can choose the most handsome/gorgeus person to be your wife/husband but you can't guarantee that inside the handsome/gorgeus looks have included a heart that will truly love & care for you in the time when you needed them the most?
