It's an individual choice..animals do it..but there are animals that pair for life just as humans do.. To each its own..there could be love in a polygamist family though.. But, leave religion/cults out of human affairs! Ahhhhhh but there is nothing in this world though or beyond (if there is a beyond?) that can be compared to *Absolute Love*:) One day I will find that girl that is capable of absolute love:) many or most people aren't capable of absolute love:(
@PrinceOfLight4 so because animals do it, it's ok? so basically humans are just animals...animals don't get married, & just fuck to reproduce - should that be what we do too?
& the girl might be capable of "absolute love", but if you marry her & then find the need/want to marry another another one, obviously you aren't.
Well Mormonism will win... Not only is it getting more converts as the fastest growing cult, but also they are simply pit-populating the rest of you. Brigham Young had over 150 children. Even as recently as Mitt Romney's dad had over 150 FIRST cousins, with tens of thousands at the level of 4th cousin.
It's won in Utah, winning in Wyoming, Idaho, parts of Colorado and AZ.
homosexuals aren't demanding the right to marry multiple people - they want the right to be with the 1 person who they truly love, who just happens to the same gender as them.
if you truly love 1 person, they should be enough for you - you shouldn't have the desire to marry another.
@icemom09 What is wrong and what is right in any relationship.. If people want to be polygamist is their choise.. precisly like homosexuall, bisexuall and heterosexuall..
There is a lot of things that maybe is wrong in your eyes, but in there eyes it is right thing for them..
The thought of sharing my husband make me want to cry. I am his and he is mine... I don't know how these women... or the man... can do it... Me and my fiancee are very selfish with each other ( healthily)... If my husband asjed to have another wife, I'd feel I wasn't good enough... But if you are raised with a different way of thought, you may think its ok. I was raised that sex/ marrige is a very personal thing just for you and your hubby... I think, as me, I'd rather die then share my Ian.
Whether or not your husband is attracted to other women has nothing to do with you but with NATURE. Monogamy is a 'choice'. It's possible for anyone to find that they're attracted to multiple people even if they're already in a relationship. With that said, I'm not saying that everyone will act on who they find attractive and and who they're compatible with, but my point is you have no control over if he'll cheat. ONly he does.
love this, yeah it isn't about being a man's toy but with 3-4 women it is possible that an average guy can truly be satisfied in his sex life and never even need to think about looking at other women. That DEFINITELY isn't true in a traditional relationship, men live in misery, don't ever doubt it.. complete misery and longing..
If there is a God, and He happens to be the one who established Judaism and the sects that arose from it (Christianity and Islam), then polygamy is not immoral.
If there is no God and the basic foundations of Darwinism (survival of the fittest) are correct then polygamy helps expand both the male and female genes into the next generation (females in polygamy tend to have larger families).
the only reason any woman would feel uncomfortable about sharing "her husband" is because of modern secular brainwashing. By nature, men are polygamist.
@TheGreatServant no, the only reason any woman would feel uncomfortable about sharing her husband is because she loves him, & marriage is a personal thing between 2 people & those 2 people alone - it's not something you have with multiple people
& why would the husband find the need to get another wife? is she not good enough?
marriage is about more than just sex. i would prefer my husband to have an affair/mistress rather than share his marriage (if i truly loved him) with another woman.
The morals that matter to relationships should at least center around consent between adults and if it causes harm. If no one can prove that adult consensual polygamy causes harm then banning it for everyone is unnecessary and oppressive. Ironically, the US banned polygamy in an era that slavery was also OKAY and women were still oppressed so I would not trust any logic stemming from a highly prejudiced era.
Well if your husband could have multiple wives, can you have multiple husbands?How are you not jealous???? Is he that good looking and have a huge penis? I have nothing against you, but you do deserve better then being shared
@icemom09 I have three wives and two of them have another husband apiece. It's not about not feeling jealous. It's about knowing that your spouse loves you and can love others like a parent can love many children. The important thing is how we deal with our irrational emotions. The successful polygamist is open about their feelings and those of the people they love. They strive to improve the lives of their family members, control their own irrational emotions, and not let emotions control them.
@icemom09 Sure, I can get jealous when my second wife is off on a date with her second husband-especially if a scheduling mix up made me think she and I were doing something. But I know that she still loves me and I know I love her. I know her second husband is still a close friend, and that no one intended to neglect anyone. So rather than react in a way that puts a relationship between two people who love each other at risk, we all just address the real issue: scheduling miscommunications.
@mazerrackham001 I give you tons of credit! I do believe people should do what makes them happy. I just think I would be so jealous. If it works for you,then i am happy for you!!!
@TheBgoz Because my second and third wives truly love their second and first husbands, of course. In the same vein, I love my first wife with all my heart and my loving my other wives (or loving my parents, brother, aunts, uncles, and cousins for that matter) doesn't negate that. Love isn't some limited commodity that you only have enough to give to one person at a time. Like a muscle, the more it is exercised, the stronger it becomes.
@mazerrackham001 & its not a "limited commodity", but if u truly loved some1, u wouldnt need or want another. they r the ONE for u - what u have is between u 2 & u 2 alone.
@mazerrackham001 & i have no problem with ppl "exercising their love", i just cant c how or y they would or could do it (truly) with 1 person at a time.
@TheBgoz What puts a relationship at risk is unrealistic expectations, dishonesty, and poor communication. No one in my family planned to end up in a poly relationship from day one. I certainly didn't! But we communicated when we started noticing mutual attractions, communicated through those attractions not meaning someone else was being loved less, and communicated even more until we found an arrangement that made all of us really happy. It's not for everyone, but it works for us.
@mazerrackham001 & i do understand that what is right for me & my opinions aren't necessarily the case with everyone else. i just can't really understand, that's all.
@TheBgoz There is no psychological imperative that prevents people from being in love with more than one person. Who is anyone to tell another whom they may love?
I can't speak to the soul thing, being as I've never seen one. My family's relationships work because of how the people in them act and through the bonds of shared experience, not because Providence demanded it to be so. It’s your business, why you love who you do, but respect that not everyone shares your religious views.
@TheBgoz If I was married to one woman who had another husband, would you say I need to marry another woman just to even the score? I married these women because I loved them. They married me and their other husbands because they loved us. No one in our family is keeping score and we never cared or considered how the family’s population distribution would be perceived by those who think gender equality means doing what they want us to do.
@mazerrackham001 but y marry? marriage (in my opinion) is about loving some1 so much that u, to the public, r willing to commit to them & them alone & so legally binding yourself to them.
@TheBgoz Loving more than one person doesn’t mean you love another person less or that someone isn’t good enough for you. Well maybe that is what it means for some people. Maybe that’s what it means to you, but it isn’t what it means for me or the members of my family. I do truly love my wives. They do truly love me and their other husbands for two of them. It might not be a good fit for you to love more than one person, but you don’t get to dictate who others do and don’t love.
@mazerrackham001 i'm sorry - i just see this stuff as kinda barstadising marriage. i don't see why people marry if they can't commit to that person alone.
@TheBgoz Why is romantic love different? We aren’t talking about sex or lust. We’re talking about loving someone unconditionally and wanting to spend the rest of your life with them. I love my wives more and more every day. None of that love is conditional on putting out. None of that love is conditional on sexual prowess. I love them because we have shared experiences, both good and bad, that cement bonds that are unique, even between wives.
@TheBgoz What kind of a person would love their wife or husband less just because they don’t like something in bed that the other does or because one person has a stronger sex drive than the other?
@TheBgoz Clearly polyamory isn't for you. That's great. I wish, though, that you really did just say you don't understand us. But I've seen your comments on other videos accusing polygamist family members of "not living in the world". That was a pretty derogatory thing to say and I hope you shift away from that and stick to simply admitting that you don’t understand us and wouldn’t want our lives, yourself. We can respect different lifestyles without being like that to each other.
@mazerrackham001 it was 1 video & the boy asked the interviewer if she thought they were missing out on anything by living in a polygamous compound & not being out in the world. he said it himself.
@mazerrackham001 & with them, polygamy was right coz they were told it was by the ppl in the institution, & they werent able to converse with other ppl outside to offer any perspective to this.
@TheBgoz They weren't able to converse with people who weren't polygamists? Do you really think that? If so, you're totally mistaken. Even if they were, which they weren’t, the issue wouldn't be polygamy. It would be forced isolation.
@TheBgoz It's one thing to say that you think they're missing out on some things. They could say the same of you. It's another thing to say that they don't live in the world, (which I read as "real world"). That’s condescending and you knew it. You laughed at them in the comment. Now you accuse people who aren’t like you of “bastardizing” marriage. If me calling you a hate monger or a bigot would insult you, you should be able to see how what you say is insulting to people like me.
@TheBgoz If you don’t want a polyamorous marriage, then don’t get one. Marriage isn’t yours to define. It is defined by whoever is getting married. The government can certainly go to hell. Legal requirements for marriage are leftover from the Eugenics Movement (a founding doctrine of Nazism) and Jim Crow laws seeking to prevent Mulattoes, like my third wife, form ever being born because they were seen as abominations.
@TheBgoz I don’t need the state to rubber stamp my personal relationships or to define them for me. What you now say about polyamory, people once said about interracial marriage and now say about gay marriage, but they didn’t need the blessings of the state or the public, and neither do I.
@TheBgoz Marriage to you might be about having a legal contract with one person who has the right to prevent you from ever expressing love towards another person, but for me it is a declaration that I love someone, unconditionally, and want to spend the rest of my life with them as equal partners in a family of our own design, and the design we’ve chosen is one with more than two people. Who is anyone to judge us?
@mazerrackham001 no - i dont believe marriage is about the person ur with preventing u from loving another. when did i say that?
they cant prevent u from that - ur a free person. YOU made a promise that they r the ONE for u - the 1 they want to spend the rest of their lives & grow old with.
@mazerrackham001 that might be what it is for u - i'm just stating my opinion. i don't feel that if u truly love some1 u would feel the want/need to b with any1 else. if what u have is special & so good, y feel the need to get another 1?
it just looks greedy to me, thats all.
but if ur going to put your own opinion out on the internet, u need to expect that u will get responses from ppl with differing opinions.
@TheBgoz He talked about going to a public high school for one. These people aren't hiding out in a fortified compound, surrounded by anti-tank mines. They live in suburbia and towns. They have friends from all walks of life. Have you ever met people like this before? And even that isn't the point, as I've said multiple times. It's that you were intentionally condescending and laughing at them for not being like you and for since then accusing people unlike you of bastardizing marriage.
@TheBgoz Apparently the use of hyperbole is lost on you. Nothing I can do about that.
The point was that marriage is more to me than being with a person and forsaking even the possibility of ever loving someone as much as I love them. If my first wife had died first, or if I had divorced her, no one would blink twice at me marrying again, but I don’t consider tragedy a prerequisite for love.
@TheBgoz I can tell you what marriage is not about for me: having a sexual monopoly (and thus power) over someone else. I married my wives because I loved them, not to dictate to them when, where, how, and if they will have sex for the rest of their life. Each of my wives and I and the other two husbands communicated with each other and came to an arrangement that we all agreed to and wanted as free citizens and as consenting adults.
@TheBgoz Are you aware that the terms and vows of nearly every marriage are different? You or someone you knew may have vowed to love no one else. They may have vowed to obey their master/mistress as an obedient slave if they are in a total power exchange relationship. My wives and I vowed to love and cherish each other for the rest of our lives. We promised to make a loving family together and to always be there for each other for the rest of our lives.
@TheBgoz I have no objection with you expressing your opinion. I’m not seeking to convert you. I don’t even deny your right to say we’re evil scum. What disappointed me, (but accept as your right) was you coming to me and asking why my relationship is as it is, and acting like you wanted to understand a different lifestyle, but then posted condescending comments and accused people like me of “bastardizing” marriage in the same way people used to object to different races marrying.
@TheBgoz I hoped you just wanted to know why we feel as we do and how our relationships work. You did start off with a totally innocent and fair question. Now you’ve turned that into demonizing an entire group of people for not living their lives the way you want them to. Thankfully, my family is made up of free citizens who may do whatever they please with consenting adults, regardless of what others would like to dictate to us.
Note, as the video "freedom from conscience - psychopaths" spells out clearly, the people who make our laws are often without morals, ethics, empathy or guilt. So why should people feel bad for thinking outside the limiting box that the elite have set up in this nation?
Just for the sake of putting it out there, you don't have to be religious to be a polygamist, nor does it have to be one husband and many wives. Atheists can be polygamous. Women can have multiple husbands. Polygamous, same-sex relationships can happen. All of these relationships exist right now in various parts of America alone and it's estimated that less than a fourth of them are FLDS. Most of these relationships are secular and exist simply because some people love more than one person.
@mazerrackham001 Biologically, a male having several women makes sense though. Look at nature, males generally mate with a lot of females, but females can only get pregnant once every X months. So having multiple males as one female is counter-productive. Sure, we as humans aren't just about the sex any more but it's still part of our basic instincts. So I wouldn't be surprised if you see a lot more 1 male, X females than the other way around.
@Sanquinity I'm sure that's true, globally, due to Islamic polygyny. Polyandry cultures exist even today, but are rare. I doubt secular couples who marry only for love have much of a difference in statistics, but that's just a guess. For myself, my second wife has a second husband, my third wife has a first husband, and my friend is dating a married woman. No kids are as yet involved.
Regardless, how common a lifestyle is should have no bearing on its protection from government persecution.
@Sanquinity "That" being your claim that polygyny is more common than polyandry, just to be clear. I certainly don't care about the child issue, as I have no problem with the aged, homosexual, or the barren getting married. Hell some folks just don't want kids, which is more and more likely in societies with higher incomes and education levels, and that's okay too. As far as I'm concerned, the government should totally remove itself from the bedrooms of its citizens.
@mazerrackham001 "As far as I'm concerned, the government should totally remove itself from the bedrooms of its citizens" Stand up in tears and clap.
The family on Sister Wives have been investigated and there has been no evidence of welfare fraud uncovered. They don't live in isolated sects, they don't have a prophet like Warren Jeffs, etc. So perhaps not even all FLDS practice the same way - only the ones who are stuck in isolated sects are left to the hands of brainwashers and totalitarian leaders.
This is not the reality of most polygamous situations at all, and the stereotype of all the women & children in the polygamist families on welfare is true... Glad it's working for them... too bad for all the taxpayers.
Can you cite a credible study that proves that every single polygamous family are on welfare? Are you only against MORMON polygamy? I ask because polygamy does not have to be practiced with religion. There are those who want to practice polygamy who aren't Mormon and who don't care to have lots of kids, like me, for instance.
@PolyPride3 my sources have been from various articles/interviews that I've researched about the FLDS specifically... I totally respect that question... I actually am planning on looking to see what public information is available about how much welfare is going to the FLDS areas... I respect your position, but the problem with the FLDS version is that it is a form of slavery & I'm concerned the public sees it as some kind of choice when in their case human rights violations are clearly occuring
I believe you that you have sources but I've watched plenty of interviews from BOTH sides (pro and anti-polygamists). From doing that, I'm only left concluding that SOME polygamists abuse the welfare system, mainly those in 'isolated' sects. The thing is not all MORMON polygamists live in isolated sects and not all practice with FORCE or prophets like those who had to ESCAPE becuz they were FORCED/abused.
@Thesoccerdood They are not legally married ... some polygamist groups are clearly cults, like the FLDS & they "marry in spirit" but there is no legal marriage recognized by the state & there's no law against having children with different people... if there is, it's not being enforced that I know of ... there may be people living happily like this, but the reality for those living in the polygamist FLDS in Texas & Colorado City, AZ & Hilsdale, UT is nothing like this portrayal
after having all of those kids, I am sure the guy wonders if having all of those threesomes and foursomes was worth it??? Im sure 95% of the time he thinks yes.
Following Darwinian logic, these people have set up a home in which having lots of kids is easier. So these people pass on their genes at the very least. For some reason, the guys here mocking the polygamists don't strike me as being first-in-choice if they tried to donate sperm at any fertility clinic. Is that the reason they mock the polygamists in the first place...they know they could not compete for a mate if this caught on?
@Lordofthenipplerings Seriously? No. I'm happy with my girl. I wouldn't want that many women and definitely not that many children. Polygamy would be hell for me.
If you think the Bible condems polygamy, you need to pick it up and read it. I'm in a monogamous relationship. That's what I've chosen. But I do NOT see any problem with polygamy as long as everyone in the relationship knows what to expect. How can we frown on thins, yet be so open to the gay community? It's a double standard. I'm not anti-gay either. I just think..well, at least polygamy happens in NATURE.
@Bonratay I don't know where do you get this video but do you know that this are insane wonans that just want sex. sex with each other so that means they are also lesbians. For what this fucking womans have kids? if they are going to teach them the same fucking way of life. God said that a man neds to have one woman and no man or woman toghether having sex this is poligamy, menage a trua if you want to live this kind of crazy life why have kid?
If it were just about sex then the husband wouldn't be working to support this family. The more kids the more work and besides that he could've just used birth control. Perhaps the women wanted lots of kids as well. There are lots of women who simply like having lots of kids, more than what they can handle sometimes.
If they are bisexual, yes but the wives on the show Sister Wives aren't bisexual. They just like the company of close friends and don't mind even being so close with them as to share a marriage. As I mentioned before, marriage to them is a social thing just as much as it is a romantic thing with the husband. And of course the husband would allow that if the other women are those that he wants and hopefully for a loving relationship rather than just for sex.
I'm not sure what you mean that it all comes down to what HE wants. There are SOME poly marriages that run that way but not all. Polygamy can be practiced where all spouses involved have a say. Some people just can't wrap their head around that SOME women actually want other wives and not husbands.
mormonism is nothing more than an excuse for multiple bed partners. check out "banned mormon cartoon" here on youtube. mormonism is absolutely goofy. the only reason it survives better than something like scientology (which of its tenets are not much different) is because men want a religious, guilt-free pass to screw around.
Can you give me a good reason or logic for why I'm wrong on 1 Corinthians and on my comment to Anne? So far, I think it's likely that you have a cultural bias derived from how most our raise and taught in the US. I had to get beyond that myself, for some it's harder to do than others.
A marriages is in part about sex, the only problem is when it's ONLY about sex. I don't believe every guy who wants poly would want it just for sex, because it is possible to love more than one person. And yes, with love can come sex, and loving more than 1 woman brings you more sex but within context of a loving relationship. Hopefully he's taking care of his kids, which those who are only about sex usually don't want to put up with cuz you gotta work hard.
@annekarachel What makes you think it's only about sex? You are the brainwashed one if you let other people think for you. You're apathy exceeds you if you're not willing to go find out for yourself about these people and their passion for their religion. It's pathetic how brainwashed you are and you don't even know it. GET SOME INSIGHT, YOU SORRY, MISLEAD HUMAN BEING.
@WamTheMan1 I just fail to understand how having more than one wife is relevant to a faith or religion? I understand this is what is taught, but why? Also I feel upset for these women who say they have cried and get jealous when another wife is with the husband, seems not an entirely healthy relationship. But if you could leave the abuse out please, I would be very interested to discover the rationale for the whole mutiple wife idea.
I can't speak for all but some people would want polygamy because they believe its possible to love more than one person. Another reason may be a wife who is bisexual. Another reason which I think is interesting is a wife wanting her marriage to include romance and friendships. And one way you can bring your close friends into sharing a marriage with you for social reasons is through polygamy. These women enjoy companionship, esp. close companionship w/ their friends.
Firstly, I oppose Polygamy. I am a Mormon and we do not believe in Polygamy. What I do find disturbing is the double standard in society. There are men who have casual partners, sleep with many woman, have children with some of these and yet face no real penalty for their immoral actions but if a man marries more than one woman there are? Polygamy is wrong and so is the immoral behavior by many and sanctioned by governments.
What harm does it cause that 2 women want to have sex with the same guy?
What harm does it cause when these women also love the guy and want a committed relationship involving 3 people, meaning the only love and sex is between those 3?
Is a man that sleeps with the same 2 women and they are honest about it and want that (so no one is being cheated), the same as a man who sleeps with any woman who passes him by? Would it help if he raises their kids if or when he gets them pregnant?
@PolyPride3 . So if the king must not, then the average man should not either. In Paul’s letters in the New Testament, having more than one wife disqualified a person from leadership in the church. But you are Christian right? SO BIG LOL So there is no place in the Bible where God commands polygamy, or where he says it is a good thing. There are many places in the Bible where God states that his plan for marriage is one man, and one woman.
@PolyPride3 (For example, 1 Corinthians 7:2, each is to have their own wife or husband). but hey! as longest adults agree with it, it doesn't matter what God says right? lol again. Take a cold shower poly, and wake up.
1 Corinthians 7:2 in the context is how to avoid sexual immorality for someone who is single. To find that read 1 Cor. 7:1. Let me add that Paul is giving a suggestion in 1 Cor. 7:1-2 because he himself was unmarried (1 Cor. 7:8), so he would've been breaking God's rule if that was a commandment, so from that we know it was Paul's SUGGESTION. Secondly, Paul was just giving ONE way to avoid sexual immorality, another way is polygamy or cutting off parts (Matthew 18:8-9).
Do you all know that Globally women out number men by at least 8 to 1 that means there's a lot of single lonely women out there that don't need to be feeling unsatisfied, unfulfilled and unloved. If your single never married between the ages of 18-24 and seek a loving nurturing home you're welcome on my home.
'4 and 8' is that because they have different fathers?.. still thats 25 kids in one household. How can they possibly get the attention and support they individually need?
Actually a woman can have multiple husbands. Polyandry is when a woman has multiple husbands. Polygyny is when a man has multiple wifes. I personally believe in monogamy. Thats my choice. This is theirs. If you see someone saying "Its MY choice", then why cant u believe them? Not all polygamist families are abusive.
@AmyGraceland i don't think polyandry is practiced in FLDS. I think there are very few human cultures that practice polyandry. There are some in india and tibet but I can think of any others off hand
seems like the women get the raw end of the stick and the man gets his cake and eats it too?can a women have 3 husbands ?no (not that shed want to just a question)so i think one on one only.
@amarie1920 i don't know have you found out yet? These famlies kills me..They>>kids has got to be messed up to. Cause they have a dad and a uncle for that one husband.
@tamaradrann, any American could write a book on the abusive nature of monogamy and be able to get plenty of case studies within a fadius of 5 blocks from their home. I think a "Big Love" sort of polygamy, which would become more common once we decriminalize polygamy, would lead to less abuse as women (who I believe are generally intelligent) would be drawn to better-than-average males and not just have to settle on whatever is left over. Monogamy encourages more abuse than polygamy.
I don't how or why but ever since i was a small boy I've always believed that polygamy was right even when you study Holy Scriptures and /or history multiple wives have always been a way of life.... it is only modern society that frowns on this.... yet they nod their heads and say that homosexuality is OK. C'mon homosexuality is not OK any normal human being can tell you that it is not.
@118100006 lol if you don't think all 3 of those women are in bed with that one man at the same time your kidding yourself . News flash 3 women and one man = homosexuality lesbianism.
@kindahokey Hmmm. So you're saying that you think while one wife is in bed with the husband, the other two are shacking up? Wow. Today's society is a bright one, isn't it.
@tamaradarann I don't support the lifestyle, but... it's a TERRIBLE way to go about casting judgement, based on events that occur for an individual. What happens to one, may not to another. An example; someone may be raised in a bad district, in modern NYC, and end up becoming a thug, and his neighbor may end up being successful in life. You may disagree with how they live, but that does not make them crazy or evil. It means you have differences in opinion. Deal with it. Who are you to judge?
Quite honestly, I have no problems with it as long as they can support the children, they aren't marrying off Tweens, and the relationships aren't abusive.
Why do so many people have a problem with polygamy when the women are able to choose whether or not they wish to live it? Everyone support gay marriage because it's consensual, but the second a wife is willing to allow her husband to have a second wife it's bad? I'm not saying that's the way these people practice polygamy, but in that circumstance I don't see where people have the problem.
People are so narrow minded. This life is not horrible, even for the children. Sure, there are difficulties for the kids, but in this life, they have so many more people to love and support them.
I think they were pretty honest, and they may be lying to protect themselves and their children, but there ARE some that don't have it as bad. CJ's mom didn't have it as bad till they moved to where she grew up. But still...would not want to share my husband at all with another woman
I personally find it disgusting that those women screw around with one man, acting like some sort of sperm receptacle for a ridiculous religious ideal.
the only benefit I see of polygamy is that 2 or three people will do the work of one woman in the household. Yeah, sometimes I wish someone else would wash the dishes if I did the vacuuming. But other than that I do NOT agree with it at all. It would only be fair if each wife had another husband too.
Somehow society is able to condemn this lifestyle, while a man with children to three different women with whom he has never been wed - nor intends to wed and no ability or desire to support any of the women or children is given little if any notice
@iffyhollers re: your comment from a year ago... yes, and kudos to the polygamous husbands who participate in the caring for th families... i've been trying to get the word out though, about what's going on in the FLDS... many people think much like you, and believe me, I understand, however the FLDS has evolved into using polygamy as a part of a cult-slavery system and there is serious child abuse & mind control going on within that closed society... that's the problem, not the polygamy itself
This is a sweet family that makes it work for all. Most single marriages have trouble making it work. As long as all are consenting adults and are capable of caring for their children then I no problem with this type of marriage.
Peace be upon him who follows true guidance and believes in Allâh and His Messenger. I bear witness that there is no god but Allâh Alone with no associate, He has taken neither a wife nor a son, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

I'd blame the people who harass these kids for having 4 parents, 3 moms and 1 dad, rather than blaming the parents. The parents made a choice and there was nothing immoral about that choice. I've heard the same stories about kids who are gay or who have gay parents that are picked on, and even kids who have parents who are of different races, especially when the dad is a Black guy and the mom is a White woman. People need to get over their prejudices.
best friends? they are all victims in the same situation, so it's not strange that they're very close. that's just how psychology works

It's an individual choice..animals do it..but there are animals that pair for life just as humans do.. To each its own..there could be love in a polygamist family though.. But, leave religion/cults out of human affairs! Ahhhhhh but there is nothing in this world though or beyond (if there is a beyond?) that can be compared to *Absolute Love*:) One day I will find that girl that is capable of absolute love:) many or most people aren't capable of absolute love:(

Well Mormonism will win... Not only is it getting more converts as the fastest growing cult, but also they are simply pit-populating the rest of you. Brigham Young had over 150 children. Even as recently as Mitt Romney's dad had over 150 FIRST cousins, with tens of thousands at the level of 4th cousin.
It's won in Utah, winning in Wyoming, Idaho, parts of Colorado and AZ.

homosexuals aren't demanding the right to marry multiple people - they want the right to be with the 1 person who they truly love, who just happens to the same gender as them.
if you truly love 1 person, they should be enough for you - you shouldn't have the desire to marry another.

Whether or not your husband is attracted to other women has nothing to do with you but with NATURE. Monogamy is a 'choice'. It's possible for anyone to find that they're attracted to multiple people even if they're already in a relationship. With that said, I'm not saying that everyone will act on who they find attractive and and who they're compatible with, but my point is you have no control over if he'll cheat. ONly he does.

love this, yeah it isn't about being a man's toy but with 3-4 women it is possible that an average guy can truly be satisfied in his sex life and never even need to think about looking at other women.

If there is a God, and He happens to be the one who established Judaism and the sects that arose from it (Christianity and Islam), then polygamy is not immoral.
If there is no God and the basic foundations of Darwinism (survival of the fittest) are correct then polygamy helps expand both the male and female genes into the next generation (females in polygamy tend to have larger families).
Personally, I believe in Bible, how about you?

The morals that matter to relationships should at least center around consent between adults and if it causes harm. If no one can prove that adult consensual polygamy causes harm then banning it for everyone is unnecessary and oppressive. Ironically, the US banned polygamy in an era that slavery was also OKAY and women were still oppressed so I would not trust any logic stemming from a highly prejudiced era.

icemom09 4 months ago
@icemom09 I have three wives and two of them have another husband apiece. It's not about not feeling jealous. It's about knowing that your spouse loves you and can love others like a parent can love many children. The important thing is how we deal with our irrational emotions. The successful polygamist is open about their feelings and those of the people they love. They strive to improve the lives of their family members, control their own irrational emotions, and not let emotions control them.
mazerrackham001 4 months ago
@icemom09 Sure, I can get jealous when my second wife is off on a date with her second husband-especially if a scheduling mix up made me think she and I were doing something. But I know that she still loves me and I know I love her. I know her second husband is still a close friend, and that no one intended to neglect anyone. So rather than react in a way that puts a relationship between two people who love each other at risk, we all just address the real issue: scheduling miscommunications.

@TheBgoz Because my second and third wives truly love their second and first husbands, of course. In the same vein, I love my first wife with all my heart and my loving my other wives (or loving my parents, brother, aunts, uncles, and cousins for that matter) doesn't negate that. Love isn't some limited commodity that you only have enough to give to one person at a time. Like a muscle, the more it is exercised, the stronger it becomes.

@TheBgoz What puts a relationship at risk is unrealistic expectations, dishonesty, and poor communication. No one in my family planned to end up in a poly relationship from day one. I certainly didn't! But we communicated when we started noticing mutual attractions, communicated through those attractions not meaning someone else was being loved less, and communicated even more until we found an arrangement that made all of us really happy. It's not for everyone, but it works for us.

@TheBgoz If you don’t want a polyamorous marriage, then don’t get one. Marriage isn’t yours to define. It is defined by whoever is getting married. The government can certainly go to hell.

mazerrackham001 1 week ago
@TheBgoz Marriage to you might be about having a legal contract with one person who has the right to prevent you from ever expressing love towards another person, but for me it is a declaration that I love someone, unconditionally, and want to spend the rest of my life with them as equal partners in a family of our own design, and the design we’ve chosen is one with more than two people. Who is anyone to judge us?

mazerrackham001 1 week ago
@TheBgoz Apparently the use of hyperbole is lost on you. Nothing I can do about that.
The point was that marriage is more to me than being with a person and forsaking even the possibility of ever loving someone as much as I love them. If my first wife had died first, or if I had divorced her, no one would blink twice at me marrying again, but I don’t consider tragedy a prerequisite for love.
mazerrackham001 1 week ago
@TheBgoz I can tell you what marriage is not about for me: having a sexual monopoly (and thus power) over someone else. I married my wives because I loved them, not to dictate to them when, where, how, and if they will have sex for the rest of their life. Each of my wives and I and the other two husbands communicated with each other and came to an arrangement that we all agreed to and wanted as free citizens and as consenting adults.
mazerrackham001 1 week ago
@TheBgoz Are you aware that the terms and vows of nearly every marriage are different? You or someone you knew may have vowed to love no one else. They may have vowed to obey their master/mistress as an obedient slave if they are in a total power exchange relationship. My wives and I vowed to love and cherish each other for the rest of our lives. We promised to make a loving family together and to always be there for each other for the rest of our lives.

Just for the sake of putting it out there, you don't have to be religious to be a polygamist, nor does it have to be one husband and many wives. Atheists can be polygamous. Women can have multiple husbands. Polygamous, same-sex relationships can happen. All of these relationships exist right now in various parts of America alone and it's estimated that less than a fourth of them are FLDS. Most of these relationships are secular and exist simply because some people love more than one person.
mazerrackham001 5 months ago
@mazerrackham001 Biologically, a male having several women makes sense though. Look at nature, males generally mate with a lot of females, but females can only get pregnant once every X months. So having multiple males as one female is counter-productive. Sure, we as humans aren't just about the sex any more but it's still part of our basic instincts. So I wouldn't be surprised if you see a lot more 1 male, X females than the other way around.

The family on Sister Wives have been investigated and there has been no evidence of welfare fraud uncovered.

If they are bisexual, yes but the wives on the show Sister Wives aren't bisexual. They just like the company of close friends and don't mind even being so close with them as to share a marriage. As I mentioned before, marriage to them is a social thing just as much as it is a romantic thing with the husband. And of course the husband would allow that if the other women are those that he wants and hopefully for a loving relationship rather than just for sex.

mormonism is nothing more than an excuse for multiple bed partners. check out "banned mormon cartoon" here on youtube. mormonism is absolutely goofy. the only reason it survives better than something like scientology (which of its tenets are not much different) is because men want a religious, guilt-free pass to screw around.

A marriages is in part about sex, the only problem is when it's ONLY about sex.

And yes, with love can come sex, and loving more than 1 woman brings you more sex but within context of a loving relationship.

You're apathy exceeds you if you're not willing to go find out for yourself about these people and their passion for their religion. It's pathetic how brainwashed you are and you don't even know it. GET SOME INSIGHT, YOU SORRY, MISLEAD HUMAN BEING.

@WamTheMan1 I just fail to understand how having more than one wife is relevant to a faith or religion? I understand this is what is taught, but why? Also I feel upset for these women who say they have cried and get jealous when another wife is with the husband, seems not an entirely healthy relationship. But if you could leave the abuse out please, I would be very interested to discover the rationale for the whole mutiple wife idea.

@annekarachel
I can't speak for all but some people would want polygamy because they believe its possible to love more than one person. Another reason may be a wife who is bisexual. Another reason which I think is interesting is a wife wanting her marriage to include romance and friendships. And one way you can bring your close friends into sharing a marriage with you for social reasons is through polygamy. These women enjoy companionship, esp. close companionship w/ their friends.

Firstly, I oppose Polygamy. I am a Mormon and we do not believe in Polygamy. What I do find disturbing is the double standard in society. There are men who have casual partners, sleep with many woman, have children with some of these and yet face no real penalty for their immoral actions but if a man marries more than one woman there are? Polygamy is wrong and so is the immoral behavior by many and sanctioned by governments.

What harm does it cause that 2 women want to have sex with the same guy?
What harm does it cause when these women also love the guy and want a committed relationship involving 3 people, meaning the only love and sex is between those 3?
Is a man that sleeps with the same 2 women and they are honest about it and want that (so no one is being cheated), the same as a man who sleeps with any woman who passes him by? Would it help if he raises their kids if or when he gets them pregnant?

@PolyPride3 . So if the king must not, then the average man should not either. In Paul’s letters in the New Testament, having more than one wife disqualified a person from leadership in the church. But you are Christian right? SO BIG LOL So there is no place in the Bible where God commands polygamy, or where he says it is a good thing. There are many places in the Bible where God states that his plan for marriage is one man, and one woman.

@PolyPride3 (For example, 1 Corinthians 7:2, each is to have their own wife or husband). but hey! as longest adults agree with it, it doesn't matter what God says right? lol again. Take a cold shower poly, and wake up.

1 Corinthians 7:2 in the context is how to avoid sexual immorality for someone who is single. To find that read 1 Cor. 7:1. Let me add that Paul is giving a suggestion in 1 Cor. 7:1-2 because he himself was unmarried (1 Cor. 7:8), so he would've been breaking God's rule if that was a commandment, so from that we know it was Paul's SUGGESTION. Secondly, Paul was just giving ONE way to avoid sexual immorality, another way is polygamy or cutting off parts (Matthew 18:8-9).

Do you all know that Globally women out number men by at least 8 to 1 that means there's a lot of single lonely women out there that don't need to be feeling unsatisfied, unfulfilled and unloved. If your single never married between the ages of 18-24 and seek a loving nurturing home you're welcome on my home.

Actually a woman can have multiple husbands. Polyandry is when a woman has multiple husbands. Polygyny is when a man has multiple wifes. I personally believe in monogamy. Thats my choice. This is theirs. If you see someone saying "Its MY choice", then why cant u believe them? Not all polygamist families are abusive.

@tamaradrann, any American could write a book on the abusive nature of monogamy and be able to get plenty of case studies within a fadius of 5 blocks from their home. I think a "Big Love" sort of polygamy, which would become more common once we decriminalize polygamy, would lead to less abuse as women (who I believe are generally intelligent) would be drawn to better-than-average males and not just have to settle on whatever is left over. Monogamy encourages more abuse than polygamy.

I don't how or why but ever since i was a small boy I've always believed that polygamy was right even when you study Holy Scriptures and /or history multiple wives have always been a way of life.... it is only modern society that frowns on this.... yet they nod their heads and say that homosexuality is OK. C'mon homosexuality is not OK any normal human being can tell you that it is not.

@tamaradarann I don't support the lifestyle, but... it's a TERRIBLE way to go about casting judgement, based on events that occur for an individual. What happens to one, may not to another. An example; someone may be raised in a bad district, in modern NYC, and end up becoming a thug, and his neighbor may end up being successful in life. You may disagree with how they live, but that does not make them crazy or evil. It means you have differences in opinion. Deal with it. Who are you to judge?

Why do so many people have a problem with polygamy when the women are able to choose whether or not they wish to live it? Everyone support gay marriage because it's consensual, but the second a wife is willing to allow her husband to have a second wife it's bad? I'm not saying that's the way these people practice polygamy, but in that circumstance I don't see where people have the problem.

the only benefit I see of polygamy is that 2 or three people will do the work of one woman in the household. Yeah, sometimes I wish someone else would wash the dishes if I did the vacuuming. But other than that I do NOT agree with it at all. It would only be fair if each wife had another husband too.

I'd blame the people who harass these kids for having 4 parents, 3 moms and 1 dad, rather than blaming the parents. The parents made a choice and there was nothing immoral about that choice. I've heard the same stories about kids who are gay or who have gay parents that are picked on, and even kids who have parents who are of different races, especially when the dad is a Black guy and the mom is a White woman. People need to get over their prejudices.
