Their heros in the bible like David, Solomon, etc had multiple wives.
Why is it such a big taboo? Plus rulers in ancient times had multiple wives.
It seems if given a chance men will have multiple partners.
I completely understand why most women would be opposed to it. But if a man could find to women who are ok with it, why should it be illegal
Im not talking about child marriage, which is obviously wrong. So if gay marriage becomes legal, would polygamy be next?
I can't helping thinking about that movie on Japan or China (can't remember which) that was about a very wealthy man who had multiple wives. According to these wives, it was very hard on them to share husband. I believe it because I know I would feel the same way.
I think Doug5 has a good point. If the women dont mind that then who are we to judge. It is illegal because Christians say so?
Ditto. That is why I prefer monogamy over anything else. If a man prefer polygamy, then I want to have more than one husband to even things up.
Golden Rule also came from the Bible.
Let me put it the opposite way.... Would it be okay if a woman have more than one husband at the same time??? If a woman had a fallout with husband #1, she can go to bed with husband #2. In a polygamy, a man can do that and the woman who the husband had a fallout with, would be sleeping alone. To me, that is not fair. I know why men want polygamy... it had to do with power and control. That is my point of view.
