Certainly not the Bible. It has multiple examples of protagonists taking as many wives as they can afford. King Solomon had as many as 700 and he wasn't brought down for polygamy, but introducing multiculturalism. Jacob has a couple of wives and a few kids from maids.

God. Genesis 2 and then Jesus said it was that way from the beginning. Just because Solomon had more does not make it right. When God chose parents for His Son, He chose one man and his wife. When God set leaders in the local church, they were to be husbands of one wife. This stuff isn't hard unless you don't want to follow it.

Matthew 19:1-12 speak on the topic of marriage and polygamy was not condoned but allowed in order to care for those that were widowed and had no one to take care of them. So many were taking on wives and divorcing them for no reason. So Jesus came and set the record straight, to let them know marriage is suppose to be between One man and One woman and the only grounds for divorce was adultery or death.

We get it from the definition that God gave to marriage when he first created the concept in Genesis chapter 2. He stated there that it was to be between a man and a woman. Jesus repeated that twice in his teachings also.
That other people who are not God decided to try and make marriage something else (such as polygamy or a series of marriages and divorces) Just like the SCOTUS deciding that marriage is to between two people of the same sex does not make that a marriage.
Yes, we get it from the Bible. Just because people sinned and tried to redefine marriage (and failed) does not mean that the definition that God gave it is not there.
Try actually reading the book sometime instead of just parroting the talking point that you have been brainwashed with. You will not look so foolish.

from the bible, one Adam and one Eve.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
if any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
Atheists don't usually try to justify their immorality with the bible.

Christains receive from Christ.
Surely not hard for you to comprehend?
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
