Why do cheating men get married?
I guess it depends on the vows themselves. Most weddings I have attended, including my own, have vows with language such as "I promise to be faithful" and "Forsaking all others." I would consider this to be not just implying, but stating explicitly that the marriage is to be monogamous.Quote: DRichI know that this is an old thread that just got bumped, but when did marriage start implying monogamous? i remember the part about "love and cherish until death do you part" but I would assume one could do that while bouncing on top of others.

Since ever? At least in most of religions marriage has been monogamous for every (non-royalty) one. Guess there are good reasons and societal-evolutionary wisdom for that.
