adj.
of monogamy, of marriage to one person at a time
Monogamy
Monogamy is the custom or condition of having only one mate in a
relationship, thus forming a
couple. The word monogamy comes from the Greek word monos, which means one or alone, and the Greek word gamos, which means marriage or union.
Serial monogamy is having no more than one sexual partner at a time but allows for multiple partners in a lifetime. In western culture
serial monogamy is common with individuals before they start a family, due to divorce rates. The opposite of monogamy is
polygamy.
