I don't follow your time equations. Are you assuming that the time won't be spent with all 3 together and that thus they will have limited time?

Would you ban people in the military from marrying because of time over seas preventing the building of trust through time?

Also, even if we take as given, which I don't, that all polygamous marriges result in less than maximal bonding, does this warrent discrimination by the state? Does not the state recognize many marriages which we may have reason to believe will be less than optimal bonding experiences? Say marriages to people who cannot have children though children may make a great bonding agent. It is not a question of what is best generally, but what should be allowed.

It may also be that some people for any number of reasons would bond no more in monogamy than polygamy but this may be too aside at the moment..
