More than one husband would rock wouldn't it ladies? Provided they served US instead of the women serving the men. I keep reading about these so called "Mormon Fundamentalist compounds in AZ, UT, etc & men with wives ( many of whom afre under 18) & 30 + kids. How sad. Then the wives collect welfare as single moms. However most ppl I know say 1 spouse is bad enough lol!

I agree Joseph Smith just wanted to screw other women.
Big Love is so fiction but @ least the wives all have separate houses, don't have the goverment paying for their children & are over 18. They are also there by choice. Their "prophet" gives me thr creeps but NOT like the real one (Warren Jeffs) who I hope gets life in prison.

Ok some of you are missing my point . #1 I am referring to the polygamous cults in the USA. I don't give a hoot about the muslims culture
#2 I don't care about DNA testing it has NOTHING to do with the ?. I think it's a dbl standard period. Marriage isn't for procreation. Why is there birth control? Dug.

Because Joseph Smith actually found people stupid enough to buy his bullshit.

Because a child deserves to know who their father is! In the old days there was a name for a fatherless child and it wasn't very nice. If a man has many wives, the children know who their father and mother are. The other way around (back when religions were being introduced) the kid would never know who their dad was and the father wouldn't really bond like a father should. That is the reason, but, for the record, I do not believe in polygamous relationships due to the lack of true intimacy. I think everyone involved suffers, so...

There are tribes where the women ARE dominant. (Like the Amazons)
Many primitive tribes do it with others from time to time, and are often unsure who the father is. So all the villagers share in the nurturing of the children, which is a good thing. When you think about it, we do the same thing here, only think of it as shameful behavior and our children suffer for it. By the way, since marriage is a STATE law, it is not considered un-lawful to be a bigamist, so long as you are not married to more than one person in each state!

Ok, i'll tell you. in Islam, the law that you can marry 4 is made because of the great war between Muslims and Meccans, many men died, It is made that you can marry 4 IF you can take care of them equally. And, now there are more women than men. If every men can marry 1, the rest of the women will be lesbians, A women cannot marry more than 1 because, If the women are pregnant, then whose child is it? And, do you want to go home and get banged by one, get banged by another, and another?

I do locate it exciting that people in basic terms think of of polygamy in terms of one guy with many women. it is likewise one lady with many adult adult males, or many adult adult males with many women. i think of it may paintings to have households with different adult adult males or women. i do no longer understand if which would be something i might elect, nevertheless i could see the advantages. once you're saying "first and easily spouse" i'm getting the impact which you're feeling, in some way, owned by the guy. So, being first of a number of might make you his sought after or greater belongings. From what i've got learn LDS and FLDS, i'm getting the impact that ladies are dealt with in basic terms a splash greater acceptable than pets. i'm at the instant married and function one spouse. it incredibly is probably greater lady than i'm able to handle at one time. So, i'm going to persist with a monogamous relationship. i actually do no longer sense that I even have any further say in the relationship than she does, nevertheless. perchance specially aspects, i'm going to place my foot down and demand on my perspective. besides the undeniable fact that, she does so in different aspects. often times we will get in a controversy over it and usually we paintings it out. If i attempted to make the argument of "you may as a results of fact i'm the husband", nevertheless, i may well be in worry. BTW, i'm an atheist and she or he's an Iranian Muslim. Iranians often do no longer do polygamous marriages, besides the undeniable fact that it is not stunning. She, in my opinion, would not look down on the assumption, besides the undeniable fact that it is not something she needs.

Gender equality according to the western world's order is very different from gender equality according to Divine Order.
Women are men's human, social, intellectual, and spiritual equals. No superiority of one gender over the other. In other words, women are equal with men, not the same as or identical with them. Big difference.
As opposed to patriarchal polygamy, how would matriarchal polygamy successfully work?

I once met a Pagan lady who wrote a book called "A bouquet of lovers" her name is Morning Glory Zell. She is in a group marriage I think there are three husbands and three wives.
She seemed like a wonderful person, but I can see how the group could go broke buying anniversary gifts.

That is how people not live life for self, only for society, who need expanding of nation. Since one women is pregnant, man can make second women baby, that is that. Also, interesting that in our society man need to have more women, near more than 75 % man cheating wife, so from this point poligamos religions are more honest, in poliyamos man must to sleep with own women only, since in this society, man can has sex with other women.Bad things from this is incest, in patriahalisam is easier to folow own heredity, who is mother is obviesly, but father only mother knows, maybe DNK test can make revolution in this relation, but I think that test is also not perfect.

No more than one husband wouldn't rock... Think about the whining and complaining "Wah wah wah stop poisoning my food" in stereo... Like any woman wants to put up with that crap.. Or maybe only my husband whines like that..
Husbands are like very needy pets.. With more than one you wouldn't have the time to train, groom and housebreak them properly..
There is a practice of having more than one male mate it's called Polyamory...

simply because since way back when, in the cavemen days, men was considered stronger, therefore better, than the woman.
men were hunters, women were gatherers.
this has continued for all this time. even the Bible declares that a woman shall obey and serve her husband.
it's all about dominance. according to way-back-when, being strong meant being dominant. being dominant meant being better. being better meant being more deserving.

I think it is a woman's nature to be satisfied with one man.
I remember my Aunt who told me that when a man gets another woman, he will never leave the first woman but if a woman gets another man, she will definitely leave the first man.
I am not a woman, I guess it's a default to say this...
