Full article here. Interesting both from the point of view of temperance and of faith itself.
A choice quotation:
Most species of birds and animals in which the male serves some useful function other than sperm donation are inherently monogamous. Humans, like other nest builders, are monogamous by nature, but imperfectly so. We can be trained out of it, though even in polygamous and promiscuous cultures people show their true colors when they fall blindly and crazily in love.
In other words, gentlemen, prove that you are more than a bicycle to a fish.
I also like that it refers to the unfaithful partner as “infidel.”

That’s one of the best articles I’ve ever read on marriage and sexuality. Most of it has to do with
Also, I’ve read and believe this to be true, that polyamourus societies are not prone to being free and democratic. The natural imbalances created when a group of men takes more than their “natural” alloment. Both men (unable to marry) and women (who must be treated like as an possession) are marginalized in such a scenario. With a critical mass of marginalized people, it is highly unlikely that another power structure than a monarchy or oligarchy would develop.
Oops, sorry about the typo in the second sentence – I meant to remove it.
