Is monogamy a natural behavior or a social imposition?

Should sexual fidelity be observed? Is sex outside of marriage a sin? Is it a public matter? Is it forgivable?
“I take you, to be my lawfully wedded husband, my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward…”
Who hasn't heard these marriage vows dozens of times? Unlike friendship, which can be open to many other people, it is the usual vow to remain faithful to your partner for the rest of your life (or marriage, at least).
But is monogamy natural? Is it something shaped by our genes or the environment? Some evolutionary biologists and psychologists argue that sexual fidelity (or monogamy) is not natural and, in fact, goes against the behavior observed in species close to the human race such as chimpanzees, which engage in multi-partner sex.
What do you think? Should we be sexually faithful to our partners? Is fidelity a natural behavior or a social imposition?

I became so exhausted from working on my credit without seeing any improvement. About a month ago a friend of mine told me how she was able to buy a new home with the help of a credit repair expert (Rootkits Credit Specialist), I contacted them immediately and they helped me boost my score up to 799 and deleted all the negative items such as collection, hard inquiries, late payment were marked as on time payment, eviction, and foreclosure, am happy now i have a clean report with a good positive trade lines, you too can contact them for any kind of credit hack on any credit related issues via: ROOTKITSCREDITSPECIALIST at GMAIL dot COM or Mobile: 815 524 8116.
