The fidelity question is difficult for me. Society has made us believe we're supposed to be monogamous when we're not killer whales, or whatever the monogamous species is.

I think that monogamy is artificial. I do not think it's something that comes naturally to us.

Why are we so obsessed with monogamous fidelity?

I don't know that human beings were meant to mate for life or be monogamous. But, for me, the aspect of marriage that is troubling is that it's a contract that is governed by the state, and I don't want the state to have control over my personal affairs.

It is essential that God created men and women to be one, as it is said in the first chapters of the Bible. So I think even if our culture is against marriage as essential form of relations between human beings, between women and men. I think our nature is always present, and we can understand it if we will understand it.

Several millennia ago, the words were written that a man should leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. It was not our idea; it was God's idea.

I couldn't put my hand on my heart and say I think that being in a relationship is a natural state for a human being.

One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

I think if you're in a committed relationship, unless you have some sort of an understanding, monogamy is something that should exist.

I think biologically we are attracted to more than one person, but given society and our needs, monogamy works better.
