Do Young Couples Know What Monogamy Means?

We hear a lot of ballyhooing over same sex marriage becoming legal across the US but we must ask, "Why not allow polygamy – multiple marriages?" With traditional marriage hearing death rattles in some racial and ethnic groups does this not suggest it is time for a paradigm shift in our definition of partner exclusivity in marriage?

IF I can remember correctly when I was a young lad... back when I was between 13-24 .. I would toss the word around.. and as long as it did not land on my path.. I was fine with it..

People should concentrate on themselves in education, getting a good job that could support 2 or more people.. and then possibly think about some serious relationship... One has to grow from within to be responsible, and rational before pinning oneself to another.

Good write up. I'm a young person & I've only ever been in heterosexual monogamous relationships because that's works for me. But what others want to do is none of my business. So if they want to have a homosexual marriage, cool. If people want to be polygamist, cool. Consenting adults should be able to live their lives how they see fit as long as they don't hurt anyone.
