Sure, under two conditions:
1/ I'd need to find two or more *right* people.
2/ We'd all need to love one another. Not necessarily sexually, but we'd have to truly love and care for one another. Robert Heinlein wrote about functional multiple marriages in novels like "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" and "Friday." Check 'em out.

I could have one husband to cook and clean for me, one to work and bring home the cash and both would be good for sex. Who doesn't like a little variety now and then? I wouldn't have children, but for those who do want children, another husband could be solely responsible for childcare.
Marriage was never created for love. That's just stupid western notions of romance. In reality, marriage has nothing to do with love. Marriage in every culture has survival functions which are becoming obsolete in many western cultures and hence the high rates of divorce. The heavy emphasis on love is merely a desperate attempt to recreate that need for marriage, which is silly, since all that happens is a devaluation of love.

No. Believe me, one relationship is hard enough to work on. It takes a lot of energy, understanding and compromising just to deal with one spouse!

Hoestly, I dont know anyone would want more than one spouse. One is enough, I could be real hatefull on this issue but I'm sure everyone knows where this will lead.

No, I don't think I would. First of all, you would have to run that one past the first wife. Second, if both of them hop on their menstrual cycle at the same time and decide to run my aas over, I'm going to be wishing I just had one wife.

Well I wouldn't because it would cause conflict between your two spouses and you could get some kind of STD from one and give it to the other.

Yes I would and I think most men would if it was legal.I think more on the lines of better income and better raising children.Best thing you got is Polyamory lifestyle.

no because it defeats the purpose of getting married. i mean marriage is supposed to be for two people who are in love and would only want to spend the rest of their lives together no matter what even though some of us get married for the wrong reasons that is how it should be .

Absolutely yes to enjoy me sex life to the maxi the kind of variety we need is another kind like food of other recipe. One sexual partner is tiresome and magic of lust fading easily after years of married.
