Or maybe you establish your love on physical extremities?
begin2009: Is MONOGAMY healthy for the mind or spirit ?
Is staying with one partner over a long period or 'forever' the healthiest option for either or both partners ?
Yes, I believe it is. Studies show that those who are in happy, monogamous relationships are healthier than those who aren't. Even without the studies, I think that would just make sense.
LethalLove: I have interpreted the question as will you remain monogomous to the one partner...even after they are gone...? ie...have only one relationship of a romantic kind in your whole life...Not fool around with 20 different people whilst in one relationship...
Ah, in that case, no. I'm a widow, and though I will always treasure what I had with my late husband, I'm way too young to consider remaining faithful to him for the rest of my days. He wasn't my first marriage, and I hope he wasn't my last. I want one more true love in my life, this time for the remainder of the journey. That won't in any way take away from what I had with him, nor will what I had take away from a future love. If anything, because it was so happy, and because of what I learned from that one, it will only add to the next one.
heidi2765: If we would only know the answer to that one....lol
precisely...we don't know the answer to that question and yet we keep saying that if we find the RIGHT PERSON and blah blah. the truth is there is nothing called right or wrong person...the idea is either MAKE it right or WRONG with him/her instead of expecting somebody to be "readymade".

Read this quote once and thought it was hilarious:
“My husband was not faithful. He thought monogamy was a type of wood. I’m like, "“No, honey, MONOGAMY is when you just sleep with your wife”". "No, he said, “that’s MONOTONY”...”

Well, I would agree with that, Jesse, for women too.
Contentment, and security are very important to one's personal health and wellbeing.
But I find it strange when scientists and suchlike say that men are inherrently not suited for monogamy, due to their built in need to "spread the seed", for want of a better expression.

Big_John: See I didn't read it that way. I felt the question was over a long period and/or forever. I believe you can have more than one relationship in your life, but, of course, I believe it should only be with one at a time. I don't support 'fooling' around when you are in a comitted relationship.

I think its healthy for each person to do whatever they wish, but personally I think security in a relationship is paramount - to my own health, anyway..

Ladies please don't hate me....
I don't hate you but I bet you there are many men who would disagree with that generalization.
