This assumes having a long couple relationship is necessary for humans.

Maybe the next generations will evolved in ways that means they are very happy without the structure of the couple.

Other structures exist.



This strikes me as incredibly unlikely from an evolutionary psychology perspective. Or even from a perspective that acknowledges the relative complexity between whatever system you are envisioning and the simple (mostly) monogamous couple.


Graeber's dawn of humanity have taught me humans have tried a lot of different social setups in the past for power and cooperation structures.

Many animals have evolved in different direction for educational, emotional and sexual structures.

I don't see any impossibility here.

Only the believe the future will like the present, which is obviously not true.
