Hehe lots of opinions on this matter, as would be suspected.

Personally I think people should do what they want in this matter. It's religions that have set the 'standards' for the different types of partnerships anyway, so it doesn't really mean much (religion is getting a bit outdated in this day and age, or what?). I see no reason to get married. If you like each other you stay together anyway, and then split up if you don't like each other anymore.

Being a very avid reader of popular science articles I agree with Pisces. Our human nature, instincts, speaks for itself. Males tend to seek out new mates constantly, sowing their seeds to ensure future survival of the human race, while females have a more stable and caring nature so that they can raise the children until they can survive on their own. This is very much like so many other species on our planet. We are also animals, after all.

I also read an interesting article recently. Research have showed that smells play a very large role when two people are very attracted to each other. This 'smell compatibility' means that certain cell structures/DNA of the couple will ensure that any offspring from these two will be very resistant to various diseases. Nature's own way of creating healthy children...

Today's society with all the pollution and perfumes etc. inhibits this sense of course, thus children born today have more diseases like allergies etc. So not only does the pollutants directly cause sick children, but also indirectly, since people are having problems sniffing their way to the perfect mate...

I'm getting way off topic (again)...

I admire very much people who can find a partner for life and be happy with them, like Ibis going for her 29th anniversary. Well done!

Bottom line, whatever makes you (and your partner(s)) happy is best, whether you are single or have one partner or 10 partners... I think it's wrong to feel forced to live your life like your local religion expects you to do, no matter where you live.

(Btw I didn't vote, since I think both is ok)
