answer:I think that one can truly love more than one person. Consider the love parents have for their children no matter how many they have. Except for sexual attraction, is this love different from the love adults have for each other? Adolescents, young and older adults often find that they are emotionally attracted to more than one person. Most societies prohibit such liaisons, especially when married. Some, however, permit husbands having multiple wives and less frequently wives having multiple husbands. Some households include multiple couples that are free to engage sexually with each other. The likelihood of jealousy and it consequences is one reason that monogamy is preferred. Religious restrictions are another, though infidelity occurs as frequently for religious and it does for non-religious people. Sexual desire diminishes as one ages and children have been produced. Because this decline is often more rapid for women, men may find it difficult to resist temptation and, as it had with their spouse, emotional bonding with their paramour often results. Unfortunately, the initial relationship is damaged if not destroyed by this betrayal.
