Monogamy is the practice of being married to only one person at any one time. Polygamy is the practice of having more than one spouse--usually, though not exclusively this involves men having more than one wife at a time.

Therefore, a monogamous family is one in which the husband and wife are in a monogamous relationship. In other words, they are married to one another exclusively.
