Zitat des Tages über Monogamie / Monogamy:
Hard work is damn near as overrated as monogamy.
I believe a lot in monogamy, let me tell you.
I think monogamy exists when you're of age. I'm not saying that's good, but in today's time, a female won't honestly get a full commitment until they're at least 25 or 26. That's not good, but that's how it is.
I think that monogamy is artificial. I do not think it's something that comes naturally to us.
I was always anti-marriage. I didn't understand monogamy. I couldn't figure out how that could last. And then I met Bryn and I started to understand the beauty of constancy and history and change and going on the roller coaster with someone - of having a partner in life.
The concept of monogamy is an inheritance of a medieval time, when family would carry the tradition of the name and certain privileges. It's a way of organizing society, perhaps.
I think that if I were in a satisfying marriage, I would probably choose monogamy, but I wouldn't want that to be a requirement.
You have to check out 'March of the Penguins'. Penguins are the really ideal example of monogamy.
I think serial monogamy says it all.
I can't fly a flag for monogamy or whatever the opposite is; it depends on the person and on the situation.
Human nature is such that monogamy is a really hard thing to achieve.
Long-term heterosexual monogamy is still the dominant model: men and women still want to pair for a long period of time.
Promiscuity is like never reading past the first page. Monogamy is like reading the same book over and over.
Marriage requires a special talent, like acting. Monogamy requires genius.
Straight couples don't have to be monogamous to be married or married to be monogamous. Monogamy no more defines marriage than the presence of children does. Monogamy isn't compulsory and its absence doesn't invalidate a marriage.
Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.
My music touches on things I am concerned with in my own life - the idea of a woman's role in society, sexuality, desire, monogamy, fantasy and glamour. That's what keeps me alive, and if I couldn't keep creating that, I'd fall into a bit of heap.
I don't know, monogamy is a weird thing for me.
Monogamy is like a 40-watt bulb. It works, but it's not enough.
I often think that woman is more free in Islam than in Christianity. Woman is more protected by Islam than by the faith which preaches monogamy. In AI Quran the law about woman is juster and more liberal.
I believe in finding a soul mate. I've always been in monogamous relationships. I would never want to be in an open one. It'd be too awful. Monogamy can be hard work for some people. I don't think it applies to everybody, and I don't think a lot of people can do it.
It is not monogamy when there is one legal wife, and mistresses out of sight.
Monogamy is desirable for many reasons, especially in creating a stable, emotionally connected home for children. But judging from centuries of human behavior, it is also a very difficult standard to meet.
Infidelity is a deal breaker for me. I've broken up with people over it. You can't do monogamy 90 percent of the time.
I believe in monogamy if that's what a couple decides upon together, but it all depends on the personal history and culture of the two involved.
We just can't shake monogamy. It definitely demands a kind of rigor and discipline and selflessness. But it's also fun.
