Steven you have such a quiet nice way to tell me that you don't want to engage into my babblings.
Well, what there is to say, anyway?
Some people say the world is divided in two : you have the farmers and you have the hunters.
I guess that people must learn to know who they are and how to choose a life partner. And how to avoid woolf in sheep clothings.
Among the chimpanzees, mating and caring the babies are learned behaviors. Of course when a female is in heat the males are turning around, extremely interested, but they don't know what to do if when they were young, they never seen mature individuals mating. Same thing for the care of the babies. For chimps born In captivity, for example, the mother would let them die due to lack of references.
So imagine the human marital life and all its complexity !
Also people were dying around 35 years old at the beginning of this institution in History, and, they had no health care than prevention to... well, I stop the babbles.
For people who lived older, they did see a union between a man and a woman as political or social, the basic cell of the society, but monogamy was not necessarily the first virtue of a good marriage.
In a way or another.
I'm sure that loyalty, compassion and respect can be embodied in many forms.
(How many words were we, now?)
