Re: Lisa Haisha on Huff Post ... she seems hesitant to suggest we try polyamory per se, but she does at least point out that conventional marriages in the West are showing flaws and are in need of some kind of major rennovation. She also points out that plural marriage was common not too many centuries ago, so that's a plus.

Re: Justin Natoli on New Now Next ... he seems to draw some of his points from "Sex at Dawn," without treating that book as a Bible. His titular point that monogamy has become a religion is well taken. He does as I would do when he asks if they're aren't lots of people who are living monogamously but would be better off doing otherwise.

Good articles, thanks for sharing.
Sincerely,

Interesting articles. I found the second one especially good to read. There is a lot of wisdom there.
 
Lisa Haisha is correct that never before in human history have people lived so long and never before have marriages been culturally so heavily based on love and sexual attraction. Here's a quick overview of the changing views on the purpose of marriage over the centuries.
