Everything about Serial Monogamy totally explained
Serial monogamy is characterized by a series of long- or short-term, exclusive
sexual relationships entered into consecutively over the lifespan. In common usage the two partners need not be
married, but may be involved in a serious relationship. This behavior is a variant of
monogamy, in which a given individual has only one sexual partner throughout life. This behavior is sometimes referred to as a form of, or replacement for,
polygamy. This practice inherently excludes the practice of having multiple simultaneous sexual partners; however, people sometimes 'cheat' on their partners. This act goes against the 'code' of monogamy.==Animals==
Generally, any animals that don't
mate with one partner for life can be considered serially monogamous, including those who find a second mate only upon the death of the first. There are arguments that
evolutionary biology has
selected a four-year mating cycle for humans based on natural
birth spacing, as well as the belief that finding a 'fully' monogamous species is rare.

Western culture
Within
Western culture, serial monogamy is considered more fundamental than "full" monogamy. Relatively few people consciously enter a long-term relationship wanting it to eventually end so as to begin another.
Divorce
Serial monogamy has always been closely linked to
divorce practices. Whenever procedures for obtaining divorce have been simple and easy, serial monogamy has been found. As divorce has continued to become more accessible, more individuals have availed themselves of it, and many go on to remarry.
