Monogamy is the most common marital arrangement in the U.S. Define and describe monogamy and identify, define, and describe two other possible marital forms.

What will be an ideal response?


Correct answer varies but should describe monogamy as a marital form between one wife and one husband traditionally but also encompasses gay marriage between two same-sex individuals. (Note that gay marriage should not be counted as one of the two other possible marital forms. It is still in a monogamy form.) The other two forms named might be: polygamybetween multiple spouses; polygyny, one husband, multiple wives; polyandry, one wife, multiple husbands; or cenogamy, group marriage.
