Also, since so many people's needs are different, it's impossible to say what is "healthy" for everyone. But it's a pretty safe bet that, when it comes to sex, monogamy is healthier than polygamy. So many diseases running rampant, and the spirit gets diseased too from being with too many people.

The trick is making and keeping the monogamy interesting so that both partners don't fall into a pattern of laziness, unless that's what both partners want (see above)-! Have to communicate and communicate effectively with each other in a tactful, non-offensive way (difficult at times). Being physically and intellectually active in general helps me. Also, looking for the humor rather than the drama in life helps me. Having good problem-solving skills in a conversation and a genuine desire for warmth, everlasting peace and harmony helps too.
