Back then in my secondary school, we have an argumentative essay on the topic, which is better, the monogamous family or the polygamous family?". Of course I was asked to support the motion that states monogamous family is better than polygamous family.

Monogamous family is better than polygamous family.

Good morning my principal,
My panel of judges,
My accurate time keeper,
My co-debaters and;
My fellow students.

My name is Samuel and I want to support the motion which says "Monogamous family is better than polygamous family".
Firstly, family can be defined as a relationship often related by blood which consists of father, mother and their children.
Monogamous family is a family with a man and a woman and with their children if there are. While polygamy consists of a man with more than one wife.

Monogamy is better than polygamous family in many ways. First, A Monogamous family has a higher percentage of having peace and tranquility than the polygamous setting. Polygamous family is often associated with strife everyday either among the wives or among the children. It's in the polygamous family you hear noise and fights every nights over who should sleep with their husband😁. A monogamous family is not like this because it is only one women. Since each of the wives will always want the approval and validation of their husband, inevitably there will be perpetual quarrels and conflicts. A polygamous family is not always peaceful.

Another point to considered in the motion is that monogamists always tend to take care of their family more than the polygamists. A man from monogamous family will have enough resources and money needed to take care of his family because of the lesser number. A man from polygamous family will always find it difficult to manage his family if he is not rich, he will always work harder and harder till he become useless and cannot work again. But who really cares? He was the one that implicated himself. A monogamist is always happy and care for his family members because there's no strife amidst them, everybody love one another without any element of hate.

Monogamous family is better also in religious settings especially among the christians. A polygamist man especially in the Baptist denomination cannot hold any important office in the church because God commanded monogamy and not polygamy. Even though this might not be applicable to all religion. Monogamists always have that love and accord which makes them one. There are no fights among the siblings as to which is greater because they are from the same mother.

Also monogamous family is better because it helps in population control. A polygamous family has a higher chance at breeding more children than that of monogamous setting which can ultimately cause increase in the population of the country. Now the increase in the population is not problem, what becomes problem is when the population exceeds the available number of resources in the country, we all know the implications right? There will be famine, unemployment and so on, owning to too much polygamous families.

Most of the touts and miscreants we see in the  society today came from polygamous family. Because of the fact that they are not well taken care of by their parents due to some reasons. They become thugs who disturb the public peace in the society. Some of them have become bad eggs due to neglect by the families they can e from. This is often rare in monogamous family. There's love shared among the family members, none is placed above the other.

I hope that with these few points of mine, I have been able to convince you and not to confuse you that monogamous family is the best.

Monogamous family is good if the man and the wife are truly in love and in one mind and stay so because the rate at which murder are been committed due to infedelity is much.

Nothing is sweet than having peace of mind. One has many challenges talk less of having more than one wife.

Opting for more than one wife nowadays could make one lose his sanity
