Monogamy is unnatural, feels one of the most celebrated Hollywood actresses, Scarlett Johansson. She says being in a relationship with the same person requires "a lot of work." However, the Captain America: Civil War actress also stated marriage is a "very romantic," bond between souls.

"Well, with every gain there's a loss, right? So that's a loss. You have to choose a path. I think the idea of marriage is very romantic; it's a beautiful idea, and the practice of it can be a very beautiful thing." Said Scarlett Johansson.

However, on the context of monogamy, the actress said, "I don't think it's natural to be a monogamous person. I might be skewered for that, but I think it's work. It's a lot of work."

"And the fact that it is such work for so many people - for everyone - the fact of that proves that it is not a natural thing. It's something I have a lot of respect for and have participated in, but I think it definitely goes against some instinct to look beyond," Johansson added.

"I think marriage initially involves a lot of people who have nothing to do with your relationship, because it's a legally binding contract, and that has a weight to it." The actress explained.

Johansson continued, "Being married is different than not being married, and anybody who tells you that it's the same is lying."

"It changes things. I have friends who were together for 10 years and then decided to get married, and I'll ask them on their wedding day or right after if it's different, and it always is. It is. It's a beautiful responsibility, but it's a responsibility," concluded Johansson.
