Monogamy is the standard. It's plain to see. Adam and Eve. One man, one woman.
The Norm according to Merriam-Webster:
(1) an average level of development or achievement.
(2) standards of proper and acceptable behaviour.
Does it mean we cannot deviate from the average? How about those who have no wives?
A man sinning by having many wives is open for debate. How about a man with no wife?
It's hard to imagine a just and merciful God punishing a poor guy for being single all his life.
Monogamy is the average, with polygamy at the high end and celibacy at the low end.
Not everybody is into celibacy. Not everybody is into monogamy. Not everybody is into polygyny.
I'm just wondering why the debate always seems to pitch monogamy against polygamy when they can exist together.
Talk about making life complicated. Or is it part of the great deception?
