Still Believe in Monogamy?

The question that was chosen for 10 responses in this project is, “Why do or don’t you believe in being monogamous?” In my generation, it seems to be becoming increasingly popular to date multiple people at once and actively deciding not to be monogamous.

Kelly – “I believe in monogamy. I think that it was God’s will for two people to be together, grow together and if you go outside of that relationship, it is hard to have a trusting and loving relationship with anyone. You also have exposed yourself and multiple people to an increased chance of various STDs by being with several different
