I don't emphasize on monogamy. I don't think we're biologically programmed to want more than one partner. Monogamy imo is something for people to decide for themselves if they want it. A person can be worth monogamy, but I don't think it's necessary for a healthy relationship at all. On the contrary, I know a non-monogamous relationship can be healthy. What isn't healthy is secrets and lies. It's an emotional response for some people--seeking monogamy, I mean. Some people desire it, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Other people don't desire it, and there's nothing wrong with that either. Each individual has their own emotional wants and needs, and they have to decide how best they can be met for themselves.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
