Comments
Hi Alex i think this is a really great topic. you could possibly look into the theory that women like to stay in long term relationships more as opposed as they need someone to care and provide for their children and men would perhaps cheat more as they have to sow their seeds.--Hynes08 (discuss • contribs) 03:28, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi this looks great! I agree with the above comment, I've been learning about those theories in one of my other courses and I think it would be an interesting direction to take this in! look forward to reading it when its completed U3068859 (discuss • contribs) 07:36, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey, this is a really interesting chapter. I particularly like the discussion of the history of monogamy and how it slowly permeated Western culture until it was considered the norm. I thought the structure of your writing was easy to follow and developed well. One thing I would love to know more about is the studies you have mentioned in the 'Psychology' section. It would be relevant to the rest of your text if you mentioned when and where the studies were done, and how the data was collected - for example, did they ask a bunch of random people in the street or was this collected from marriage counselling or interviews etc. I love that you put in a link to the attachment style quiz - everyone likes quizzes! --U3090859 (discuss • contribs) 03:30, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey, i really enjoyed reading this chapter! it was an easy, yet stimulating read. i was significantly interested in your background research on religion and marriage as well as a contemporary and social look at monogamy. i also agree with the comment above mine about, as i would also like to know more about the studies you mentioned in the psychology section. if the studies mentioned are as interesting as your chapter it should result in a very captivating and informative read. Great Work and Good Luck

Layout
Hi, just suggesting taking all the information and making it more eye catching and appealing. Information is irrelevant if no attention is being payed. Some time should be spend on the layout of the information.

APA referencing
The unit outline recommends that referencing be in APA style, even though it is a Wikipedia page! This means that instead of numbers, the author's surname and the publishing year should be in brackets; e.g. (Mead, 2014).
