In earlier history, in the earliest diffusion of Abrahamic religion around what is commonly called the time of Christ's birth, the "lower classes" did indeed behave this way. It was important that a Roman patrician could ensure the monogamous fidelity of his wife because strict lines of succession were demanded by the gens to ensure purity of blood (i.e. that patricians remained patrician). The final death of the primacy of the family unit with the political victory of the bourgeoisie brought a full ended to this necessity; marriages were arranged for the sake of wealth rather than to the end of strengthening the family itself along sanguinary lines, as happened in the feudal period. As long as the bourgeois families wedded their wealth, the actual fidelity of the married couple is irrelevant. Obviously this is a gross simplification, but if you'd like to learn more about this take on things I recommend Engels' "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State."
