I believe we are a monogamous species. However, we have developed into serial monogamy.

The first spouse is to get the wildness out of your system, the second is to raise the children, and the third is to get you thru old age.

LOL...I find your "serial" label there to be quite amusing, since it seems so accurate for the rich!

I was also thinking about the fact that now, more and more, you see news reporting how married couples acquire much more wealth than their single counterparts, on average; and how Gloria Steinam recently married -- and now, she is a big advocate of marriage. A little late for many women who remember being greatly influenced by Gloria in the past! Work/work/work is all a lot of women did, and then found out: because they were in these low-paying, pink-collar ghetto careers like nursing and teaching, they got nowehere.
