Surprisingly enough, I have no problems with a man taking more than one wife ... or a wife taking more than one husband, for that matter. Just as long as all parties involved are emotionally stable enough to accept and co-exist in such a situation. I honestly don't see where it's the government's business when it comes to how many women I have living in the house with me. In fact, polygamy is more easily justified through evolutionary terms than it is through religion. I mean, men are programmed with the desire to sleep with as many women as possible, in order to increase reproduction. Most of us who are civilized are able to curb that instinct, but it is still there ... lurking in the shadows.
I'll never take more than one wife, though. I can't stand the one I have. :D Just kidding. Really, though. I can imagine all the fights I would have to deal with ... and the nagging being increased two-fold. Yikes!! :eek:
