Is monogamy a myth? Types of families, monogamy in some people.

In society there is only one type of inter-sex links, adopted by the society. Monogamy is an established type of family in which a man can have a relationship with only one woman.

Existing family types

The modern world has two types of family relations - monogamous and polygamous. Monogamy is a relationship between two opposite-sex partners. Polygamous relations are the official connection of a man with different women. Such a family organization, like polyandry (the presence of several husbands in a woman) is not perceived by a society whose culture does not have the type of relationship. Such family contracts cause condemnation and disapproval in the modern world.

With the advent of children, a monogamous family turns into a nuclear family. Families in which adult children have married and live together with the parents of one of them, are called - extended families.

At present, the number of complex (extended) families has decreased noticeably in Russia. The reasons for this were named: the separation of young families separate from the older generation; Low fertility as a consequence of the unwillingness of a married couple to have more than one child; The death of one of the spouses (over 13%), numerous divorces. Extended families, consisting of two or more married couples, there are only about 4%.

Monogamy in people

From childhood, people believe in the perfect relationship between a man and a woman. In the content of many films, books there is a theme of "eternal love". This kind of monogamy is considered. This is the perfect form of family life. With age, the belief in real feelings becomes even stronger, and sometimes misunderstanding between husband and wife leads to scandals in the family, which provokes one of the partners for treason.

Most people are very receptive to the opinions of others and often act differently than "the heart commands", but in the way "well-wishers" advise. As a result, most often thought about change does not appear due to physiological needs, but against the background of social dependence. From this it follows that all sorts of psychological difficulties, fear of betrayal, only accelerate its approach. Monogamy is an absolutely trusting relationship between spouses, where there are only two people - men and women - and there is no place for the third.

Disappointment in your partner is not a rare phenomenon. But think about the fact that every person has shortcomings, including you. The greatest difficulty in family relationships is the ability to understand and forgive a person close to you. Once you learn to manage your emotions, the results in the relationship will not take long.

Love does not depend on the form of marriage. Monogamy includes not only the joint life of a married couple, but full mutual understanding, trust in each other. Do not allow disturbing thoughts to destroy your marriage. Monogamy is, first of all, the joy of spending time together, from communicating with each other. Disperse all your complexes from yourself, forget the insulting moments that were present in your life together, relax in the intimate plan, be sexual, suppress jealousy in yourself.
