A monogamous relationship is a romantic connection between two people who promise emotional and sexual exclusivity to one another. It is a relationship where two people date and have sex with each other exclusively, and they dont share this type of connection with anyone else outside the couple. Monogamy can be sexual or emotional, usually both. In many modern relationships, monogamy involves being married to only one partner or having just one partner in non-marital relationships. Monogamous relationships are one of the most common relationship structures exhibited by people.
Monogamy can be contrasted with non-monogamy, which means having more than one partner or having one partner but having sex with other people as well. Open relationships, polyamorous relationships, and serial monogamy are some examples of non-monogamous relationships.
It is important to note that monogamy is not inherently better than non-monogamy, nor is the opposite true. Some people prefer monogamous relationships, while others prefer consensually non-monogamous, polyamorous, or open relationships. Ultimately, the choice of relationship structure depends on what works best for the individuals involved.
