I believe that in America today it is important to have monogamous relationships to keep the idea of a family in tact. With how common divorce has become and how public figures are always said to be either cheating on their spouse or leaving their current marriage for a newer fresher one. Almost everyone has a friend that had their parents go through a divorce and many divorces are cause by infidelity. In the reading Wright talks about how difficult completely monogamous relations have become and has many thought on why women and men cheat.
The quote that I feel described this article is "Much of what I discovered about human mating is not nice". The dating world is a very tough, heart breaking place where it can be hard enough to find your "perfect mate" so complicating it with fidelity and jealousy very much makes in "not nice". So when or if someone does find their perfect mate and they try to start a life and a family, to have to deal with the commonality of infidelity and divorce makes the little arguments a lot worse and the bad arguments much worse than they used to be seen.
