Normal
These days people get married for lots of different reasons. Firstly it's to publicly affirm their relationship as a show of love for each other, and announcement of their committment to each other. Secondary effects are to discourage extra-marital relations, and fortify the committment between the two in raising children. Underpinning all of this is the bond between the two people to grow together as people. Living in the world, yet separate from it, is what Sikhi teaches us. Like the lotus with roots in the mud of the householder's life, but the petal-mind unblemished towards the sky of Truth. I don't believe Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji says anything about how we should structure our physical marital relations, but it does however say that we should be monogamous in our relationship with Creator.
