My thoughts on Monogamy

I believe Monogamy is one type of commitment a couple can make to each other. A commitment of only having sex inside their relationship. Love is a commitment. One can only Love one other person at a time, you can commit Love to yourself. Honesty, Presence, Trust, Loyalty, and a Future are other types of commitments a couple can make to each other. I believe Love conquers all. That an active emotional relationship with a person is the strongest commitment. yes i am a pisces.

The act of having a physical sexual encounter with a random person, is just that a physical act. If a couple commits to monogamy, that random act now has meaning. and a consequence. It ties itself in to other relationship commitments. Monogamy can become a prized commitment in a relationship, or not. The great thing about monogamy is that is one of the few commitments a couple can renegotiate later on if they wish. You cant renegotiate Loyalty and certainly not love.

One of the best things about being in love with another person is your natural ability to commit. Commitments provide security. Security in your ability to love and be loved. A Security to help put your feeling and emotions out in view of another person. Security to merge two lives together.
