That seems like a pretty huge and likely misinformed generalization. But feel free to back it up and prove me wrong.

The most accessible summary can be found in "The Puzzle of Monogamous Marriage" on http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/367/1589/657

Scroll down to section 3.a.ii (or ctrl+f search for "Implication: monogamous marriage reduces the spousal age gap, gender inequality and fertility")

Anecdotally, this is what a family friend who worked as a counselor for Southern Utah University observed repeatedly. SUU is located in Cedar City, which has one of the highest concentrations of present-day polygamists in the US.
