I suggest that you have a very sheltered understanding of relationships and their variety. The tradition you cite is not universal.

The lack of universality is a problem. People experimenting with unknown formulas get unknown results including deep seeded unhappiness.

Fidelity to a single partner of the opposite sex will produce the best results. Children are more important, and more fulfilling, than anything one might accomplish in a career.

If it's the case that I just have a stone-age opinion because I was raised in rural Georgia by evangelicals or something, why not demonstrate understanding of my point, and then go on to explain why it's obsolete?

> There's a very good reason we have a tradition of choosing exactly one person to grow old with. Are you able to explain it in your own words?
