/^t/Another argument very often expressed against marriage is that marriage is a risky undertaking, a 'love trap'. Once you get married, you are trapped till the end of your life. Monogamy, especially in Roman-Catholic Poland, is considered as a demand imposed by the Catholic Church, customs and parents. Scientific research to prove polygamous nature in man has become very much 'in vogue' in recent years. But if we were constructed in such a way, how did we ever come up with such an idea as marriage? The experience proves the truth; we have innate need to pair-off, and we certainly do not accept promiscuity. Not many of us would like to share the lover with others. Thus, it is not surprising that over 60% of divorces are caused by extra martial liaisons. Additionally, break ups and divorces are most often made to start another new (and hopefully, better), monogamous relationship. So, marriage certainly cannot be considered as an emotional or sexual trap imposed by the church and contrary to our human nature. It is our expression of the natural need to devote ourselves to the person we love.
