Keepers do not pair up monogamously. They have breeding males ala the Seekers of the Sun. Unfortunately we have no details beyond that.
From a level 25 Quarry Mill levequest that states explicitly that Keepers have breeding males as well (I forget the name at the moment)

Secondly, this topic needs a disclaimer that a lot of this is your invention, isn't canon, and relies on a large number of assumptions. We don't get to decide the lore or the direction that Keepers should take, SE does. Unfortunately SE only gave us scraps and scarce details that begged even more questions. In the case of Keepers, all we ever got regarding sexuality and mating was the description that they are matriarchal and that males are rare. Few conclusions can be drawn from so little canon info, Keepers being monogamous isn't one of them.
Consider this, Miqo'te males are born very rarely (there is ONE that we get to see in game), if they paired monogamously with females there wouldn't be enough males to pair with, and as a result the Keepers would have passed into obscurity long ago.
