There seems to be a lot of discussion about monogamy as it relates to the male species. We are genetically prone to seek out the affections of multiple female partners. It is in our nature to do so. But the members of our female society have decided by a general consensus that we are suppose to adapt to the concept of relationships that ultimately lead to marriage and children. There is a very grey area in my opinion. Multiple women tend to chase after the alpha males and have been known to go to war with each other in an effort to become his one and only companion. As the battle rages on men are fighting for a different way of life. We try to conquer as many women as we can before we are captured and conform to the ways of western civilization. There is nothing wrong with a committed relationship if that is ones desire. But as men we resist and try to remain a free spirit and roam freely as nature intended us to do. With this being said we often surrender our selves if we decide that we want to settle down with a woman that has captured our complete interest and start a family and a future together in some cases as man and wife. Here is where things start getting complicated. With this committed relationship we envision that our lives will become less complicated and somehow more fulfilling. This is not always the case. We have now fallen victim to the illusion of our expectations. I in no way condemn these practices but I do believe that if a man enters into this contract he should be rewarded with love, intimacy, and a partnership that creates a satisfying future of happiness. Men and women have fallen victim to these circumstances. Familiarity often breeds a level of comfort. Any member of this partnership can become too comfortable and put less effort into it over time. This is when the level of intimacy dramatically decreases. It does happen and many couples grow apart. But there is a solution if the two of them can discuss relationship issues that evolve with open and honest communication and understanding. Many couples have a dedicated date night to keep each other engaged and stimulated. It is not always an option but effort must be put forth to build that bond together and maintain that needed level of intimacy. The average man can maintain a healthy relationship with his loving partner. Just keep in mind that outside interferences come into play. This can be in the form of a lover or just family and friends putting their noses in your sacred business. That is when your bond is tested. It is hard enough to keep things going in a relationship or marriage as it is. You must love and trust each other and overcome any obstacle that may come along. That friendship can last a lifetime if you continue to work together as a team or it can break into a million pieces and shatter like a broken glass. There is no perfect formula for success. But loving each other unconditionally is a great position to be in. Listen to each other and compromise when the situation calls for it. Talk to each other and hold your secrets with sacred intentions. Work through your problems together. Be solid and create an unbreakable bond. This is not as easy as it sounds but over the years mistakes will be made and hopefully forgiven. A man can be with one woman if they are working towards a common goal. They can complete each other. Both parties must be fully committed for this to work. The goal is to become a romantic partnership. The journey is filled with obstacles that must be overcome with love and understanding that you are in this together for a lifetime. Keep that perspective and work together as a team.
