...does this suggest that Christ is 'OK' with a man marrying more than one woman?

Nuns are not a Biblical creation. Everyone is "married" to God through faith and devotion.
Nuns should marry and have babies in a Christian family to actually serve God, Biblically.

The only way a nun can be(part of) the bride of Christ is that if she is born again. There is only one bride. That is the true church. Which is made up of many people (male and female) from all over the earth. These will all be born again believers. They may be in various denominations.

The bride of Christ is most certainly not nuns. The bride of Christ are the anointed of God, the faithful and discreet slave, the 144,000 chosen to serve in heaven.

The church is the Bride of Christ.
When Annie from the Annie Moses Band sings, "I am a bride waiting for her first kiss", she isn't referring to a kiss from her new husband, she's referring to the church waiting for Jesus to come take her to her new home.
The "her" in the last paragraph isn't Annie, its the church.
We are the church, not some building.
For a "nun" to claim she is the bride of Christ is a bit arrogant since all true believers are the bride of Christ.
Jesus' one bride is the church and that relationship has nothing to do with sex on earth.

Well it state that in ancient jewish law that a man could have more than more than one wife if he had the means to suport her. Jewish tradition is also part of christian tradition so since Jesus is both 100% human and 100% divine he can support all of them because he is God. He can do a much better job at supporting them than any other man ever could.

Perhaps they are the virgins that Islam promised in paradise.

Only if he is able to consummate the marriage.
