Because with the laws the way they are it is easier to have 3 mistresses and all your assets "out of reach"

than 3 wives, any of which can clean you out Smiley LOL Smiley Wink

 

You get the same benefits without the cost !

Because it's not in human nature.

From an evolutionary perspective actually it is.

We are monogamous.

Ever since we can remember men have fought over one woman.

I don't think it is in our genetics, love for one is too strong.

Perhaps over n beyond using intellectual thought we are able to manage it and ignore our instinct if need be or want.

Hmmm I don't know about that. With the trend of men fathering children to multiple women and women doing the reverse, I think the scattering and receiving of seed ad hoc  is very much natural to human nature.

 

Marriage is an institution created by humans mainly for financial reasons, nature is more interested in creating as much diversity in the species to insure it's survival

creative

Is that "receiving seed" from a number of men a physical thing,
as in Sex as opposed to sex for the purpose of creating babies ?

I don't know the absolute answer to that but given the number of methods available to avoid pregnancy you gotta wonder.

I think nature maybe a stronger force than we are always aware.

Is it? 

 

In the distant past child needed 2 parents to survive, at least for few years.  Woman alone could hardly go hunting with an infant or 2 in her arms.  So, one woman and one man would have usually baby every 2 years.  It would be hard for man to provide for 2 families, until the society became more developed, and man did not have to personally do all the work. 

 

I do not have a problem with what ever structure of family people choose; their lives, their choice.
