We as humans have been programmed in a way so as to believe that the morally and socially expectable pattern of marriage remains to be monogamy. But let's first define what we actually mean by monogamy. What this concept really means is to have just one sexual partner at a time or more appropriately, having just one life partner. This may refer to being with one person in your entire life or at least one person at a time. For much of the history of mankind, this has been a default relationship that one is supposed to follow. Some ancient cultures did have other practices such as polygamy or bigamy but this was just the preferable pattern of things. The concept of monogamy evolved so as to provide a balanced life to the children as they would have a better life if both the parents had a certain amount of contribution in bringing them up. It was noticed that any intruder into the relationship or any problems that existed had quite a lot of impact on the children and this created an imbalanced socialization process for them. Hence, it was established that monogamy was the perfect relationship and that should be kept intact in order to have a perfectly balanced and stable society (Fisher).
