    Monogamy is a relationship where two people are committed solely to each other. The documentary challenged the assumption that love and monogamy are the same thing, arguing that love is a feeling while monogamy is a social construct and practice that is difficult to maintain long-term. While monogamy is expected in many cultures, polygamy with multiple partners is accepted in some communities.

    Monogamy

    (Reaction Paper)
    By: FIONA LINELLE V. DIANELA

    Several things occurred to me as a result of this documentary. In my opinion,


    monogamy is a relationship in which two people are entirely committed to each other.
    When I looked up the history of this practice and why it is still used, I was amazed to find
    that there was so much material available. In our catholic culture, having an affair with
    another person while you are already married or committed is considered filthy. We've
    been told since we were children that we need to find that one true love with whom we can
    spend the rest of our lives, yet we're terrible at it.

    I could definitely tell that I am a monogamist in my case. I believe it is inappropriate


    to share your relationship with someone who is not your partner. If I had to describe
    monogamy in a nutshell, it demands a lot of things to be met. Only our partner needs our
    loyalty, trustworthiness, respect, and empathy. In the event that we fail to do any of these
    things, the relationship will result in a breakup or, in the case of married couples, a divorce.

    I know someone who had been in a relationship with her partner for about a year.
    Despite the fact that their relationship is still young, I can see that it is secure and on the
    proper path. Why? They regard each other as beings, believe in monogamy, and are entirely
    dedicated to one another. In any situation, I know they are both faithful and always
    understand each other. The fact that they don't feel threatened by the presence of another
    person is something I love about their relationship. They don't have to be frightened or
    anxious about their relationship even if they are separated by a large distance.

    The documentary, on the other hand, showed me that love and monogamy are not
    the same thing. Love equals monogamy, and if monogamy is lacking, love is absent. We
    have a neurotic commitment to the assumption that love equals monogamy. Instead, we
    should be aware that love is a sensation, and that monogamy is a common practice. In some
    countries, monogamy is a way of life in which a person is expected to only have intercourse
    with one person and marry that person in a formal contract. The act of violating this
    contract is adultery. According to the study, the Philippines' courts, which have a
    population of over a million people, have only dealt with thousands of annulment cases,
    with a higher than average percentage of annulments being granted. Just goes to
    demonstrate how difficult it is to stay monogamous for us. In addition, not everyone in
    society accepts a monogamous partnership. Polygamy, which refers to numerous partners
    or marriages, is practiced in several communities.
