Using the theological principal of "the law of first  mention," meaning that 
the first time a principle is mentioned  in Scripture is its meaning 
throughout, in Genesis 2:21-24 God  created the first institution - the institution of 
marriage.  One man and  one woman; not Adam and Steve, or Adam and Eve and 
Ginger.  One man  one woman.  That is the Christian basis for monogamy.  



And I suppose this principle is Biblically  authorized or in some other way a 
requirement on good interpretation and not  simply the result of circular 
reasoning. Right?
