Monogamy is the most common marital arrangement in the United States. Define and describe monogamy, and identify, define, and describe two other possible marital forms.
What will be an ideal response?
Correct answers will vary but should describe monogamy as a marital form between one wife and one husband traditionally, and also encompass 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 any one of the following: (1) polygamy between multiple spouses; (2) polygyny--one husband, multiple wives; (3) polyandry--one wife, multiple husbands; or (4) cenogamy group marriage.
