my professor has been describing family and how it applies to sociology. the one particular subject that caught my interest was marriage. he says just like there is polygamy(men with many wives simultaneously), there is also polyandry (women with many husbands simultaneously). when i heard this i almost didn't believe it. i had never heard of that happening anywhere. also i've never seen such a lifestyle depicted on television. i am insanely curious about how i wold be to live such a way. is the woman a housewife, and shes just taking care of all these guys? or maybe its sexual and they have all agreed to share her.
then came the topic of group marriage. some couple get together and marry each other. i don't know if its for financial reasons. maybe they are swingers and trust each other. but either way it sounded cool to me. when i researched it online, it said something about couples who decide to get married at the same time as their friends. this is not what i was looking for but it does offer a solution to how having other friends that are married can keep couples together longer.
all in all, who knows when i will hear wedding bells and decide to tie the knot.
