'''Monogamy''' is choosing to be with one other person in a mated relationship. Marriages in western culture are set up based on the concept of monogamy. [[Polygamy]] was common in ancient cultures, but has become less common over time. In the [[Bible]] there were examples of men who were in polygamous relationships, peaking with [[Solomon]] with 700 wives, but by the time of [[Jesus]] and the writings of the [[New Testament]] being "the husband of one wife" was a requirement for an elder. Monogamy can be found in the animal kingdom, even among pack animals.  Wolves, for instance, mate for life in monogamous pairs.
