While I'm firmly in the camp of "RP what you want, and it should be fine - especially if your RP is interesting", there's another possibility you might want to consider:
What if your Miqo'te weren't monogamous? What if they were bog-standard Miqo'te. I'm assuming they're Seekers, but it would also work well for Keepers with some re-jiggering of roles. The male might have opened up a hunting area (or rationalized the adventurer's life into saying he's basically a mobile hunting territory), and the female joined him there. The male would be the nunh, and the female would be the first in his breeding group.
That's fine and dandy right there.
There's no reason why your nunh would have to immediately go looking for more females. After all, many people go years as single adults. Why then should anyone look askance at a nunh who has one female in their breeding group and isn't in a particular hurry to find another?
You can draw a very rough parallel with mormon polygamists. Watch Big Love (which is fiction, of course, but it's not unrealistic fiction). Four of the main characters are a husband and wives in a polygamist family. They didn't all come along at the same time. For years it was simply the husband and one wife.
I think we're used to thinking of Miqo'te as being hypersexed and ever-eager to leap into big polygamous relationships, but that's probably more because of the behavior of players (especially a subset of the ones who play nunhs) than anything else.
