Is the concept and practice of monogamy changing overtime?

As the amazing and wise Esther Perel says it Monogamy is not anymore "We will be together till death tear us apart", it is now more like " We will be together till it last".

This game of words have immeasurable connotations on regards of a union between two people. 

Even though that we are all looking for a true connection, stability, trust and butterflies, for a lot of people relationships became as disposable as swiping left or right and sometimes it seems that the hard work that people used to put into their monogamous relationships is not here anymore. 

The absence of reasonable effort to make a relationship work in the long term could also be blamed to the apparent smorgasbord of choices and promises that the dating apps seem to have in offer (this is of course a trick of the mind and it could be dangerous to the immature or unaware person).

Esther Perel also brings hot perspectives on affairs and why they do happen.

She says that usually the person that had an affair or who is tempted to have one, is actually bored of the person they have become in their long term current relationship. The third person seems to awake a "new" or "true" self to that person and that's why it gets so confusing. 

We close these notes by saying that monogamy is a decision:The decision to chose over and over again the same person to share our lives with.
