Is Monogamy Natural?

In this episode, Sanjay Gupta reflects on one of the oldest questions surrounding love and human relationships — whether monogamy is an instinct of the heart, a social structure, or a choice shaped by culture and survival.This episode explores the tension between desire and commitment, freedom and stability, longing and loyalty. Across history, religion, psychology, and biology, human beings have struggled to reconcile passion with permanence.Rather than offering simple answers, this is a meditation on intimacy itself — on why people seek exclusivity, why others resist it, and what the search for lasting connection reveals about the deeper needs of the human soul.
