I Have a Question

Why do some people get married, but then continue to sleep and flirt with other people? It doesn't make sense. Why go through all the effort to get married, only to continue acting single? If you want to go around sleeping with anyone and everyone, just stay single. It's not even a religious thing, just marriage should be based on one of two things: mutual love and respect, and forming an alliance with another nation in time of war.

Human nature
Both men and women alike
Then don't agree to be with each other and nobody else until death
I believe feelings are natural, but this behaviour does not come by nature. But by choice.

@GundamWing: well maybe... but independently your opinion is not in keeping with evolutionary biology

@Shae95: of course you speak in absolutes... people cheat and always will... I'm saying accept that and understand it... I'm not condoning. I'm explaining one of the reasons
@yeronlyman: And I'm saying that there is no good reasons.

@Shae95: yes it appears you are saying that...

well there is instinct and nature and That's one reason

"All swans being white till you find a black one" sort of thing
@yeronlyman: So you are saying this behaviour is necessary for biology?

People create sacred bonds between each other. Being inclined to natural bodily functions does not determine cheating. But choices does. Those feelings are mere.

Some of it is human nature. But to excuse the whole behaviour listed above this way is a far stretch.

@GundamWing: I never said this behaviour is necessary for biology

These instincts are part of evolutionary biology. With out them its unlikely we would be here...

Like it or not. It's not an excuse it's an explanation of the behaviour...

Not sure why it's so hard to understand that?
Getting a bit testy are we?

You believe infidelity is the reason for "evolutionary biology". Quite a statement. I hope you are proud? While this may be true, it is a general and vague statement. There are plenty of other ways for humans to procreate that would be more ethical.

I don't think you understand the question. She isn't asking why cheating would be necessary or of it's relevance. She is describing the sacrament of marriage and her views of affairs.

It's too general of a response to even argue with! Marriage or committed relationships and family trees create evolution.
