She seems happy. I have no problem with these adults that make the choice. It's when you get into the camps (wth they're called!) and involving children or women who don't have a choice. That's messed up. Anyway, bottom line, I don't see where the government has the right to intervene in adult relationships.

I will bet most of the people condemning polygamy in this thread are males who can't even get one woman, much less several.

@assaultmek Good point . and yes mosaic law is now Mosaic principle , since the new covenant , I am a firm believer that a man (or woman ) who chooses a plural marriage , has not done anything terribly wrong , yet the state vilifies them . If the state want to interfere between a man and his wife , then the most it should punish them is misdemenour . ... A small once only fine should be enough to satisfy the ego of the bureaucrat .

@MargieMama Unfortunately such law keeps my husband from meeting my parrents, they are too sick and old travel, it keeps him from visiting my country, forces me to live in his country, and because of it i had to face many missconceptions, even threatenings. It's so sad to be religiously discriminated by the laws of you country...

@peterm3964 Except that the scriptures say that a man will stick to his WIFE, not WIVES. Plus, are we still under the Mosaic Law? Nope.

Sex OUTSIDE Marriage is forbidden in scripture . If the two people are married to each other , then there is no sin . There is no rule reguarding the number of people a person can be married to . The women are also married to each other . by the way . All parties in a marriage are married to all other parties in the marriage .

@Obadiahmessenger2011 Jealousy can vary from person to person. While you may get jealous for a given situation that doesn't mean everyone else will. Study up on Swingers or I can email you some resources. You'll see that some of them experience little to no jealousy in their non-monogamous lifestyle. If a poly woman has jealousy, she needs to work on resolving it just as we would work on jealousy in a monogamous relationship.

@Obadiahmessenger2011

Read Titus 1:5 which is the context. The passage you're referring to is talking about a Church position and not every Christian. It mentions to "appoint" an "elder". Not everyone is appointed as a church elder. If God told women that they are to be submissive, you're going to say that applies to all Christians, including men also?

dont fool your feelings, our heart is designed to one heart or will get jealous!

Matthew 5:28 --- But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Exodus 20:14 --- Thou shalt not commit adultery. outside from the Word of God is indeed a lie!

[Obadiahmessenger2011]

having many wives is completely opposes the Word of God! what is the essence of adultery here? why God forbid us to commit adultery, if we can have many wives? Titus 1:6 --- If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children...
