I am a Cristian and I , based on my own findings and studies of the Bible, do not believe that it is a sin for a man to have more than one wife. So long as he is following the standards of God , as any man should follow according to the treatment of his own wife. I do not wish to debate the issue, but only wish for the ones who pratice it or know about it to answer and let me in to there lives a bit. For a man, why does he desire it , I know some of the resons why a woman would. Tell me about your reasons, please.
Thank you.

Bigamy, polygamy and their various forms have and are being practiced in many cultures. I think that the only indication that a monogamous is preferred comes from Paul talking about church leaders and saying that they should have only one wife so as to not be distracted.
If you believe that god created the world, then he created most creatures to be non-monogamous and those that are, don't take it to human extremes. It is rather unrealistic to think that he would would have create man extremely different or applied different morality across creation.
I would definitely make this a moral issue but not a legislated one. I.e. allow people to choose the marital union that suits them (same sex, multiple partners etc) and let them deal with the moral consequences.
By the way, there are societies where the woman has multiple husbands...

I'm not opposed to any form of marriage people wish to construct for themselves.
I just don't want any of it for myself.

Why is it "OK" for a man to have multiple wives but, if a woman had multiple husbands, she would be called a s!ut?

He does it for lust! Not definitely me. I will always remain faithful.
