an argument for monogamy essay

“Monogamy isn’t realistic” (Trainwreck) is a recurring theme in Aziz Ansrai’s Modern Romance. The argument being that with the ever growing dependence on technology in modern relationships/ dating it is ridiculous to expect you and/or your partner to remain monogamous.

Adultery has been the topic of movies, books, television shows, and many arguments between spouses. One of the main question that surrounds it is, to what extent is adultery morally permissible. To me adultery can not be talked about unless also talking about love. Often love and adultery are intertwined whether it is because one uses love of another to justify adultery, or uses adultery as an evidence that one no longer loves their spouse.

In the article written by Nancy Jo Sales “Tinder and the Dawn of the“Dating Apocalypse””, Sales speaks of the dating culture of
