There is a reason for one man one wife, because it makes relationships possible.

If you want a sex machine, where you are a commodity on a relationship belt, most people over time would say get lost.
Families with over 3 children start to be a crowd or even a community not just a family.

If life is brute survival, and you grab what you can while you can, then this kind of behaviour makes sense. Once you go for multiple wives, whose wife is it anyway.

What about women with multiple husbands? Why not? There are very few cultures were this is the preferred option.
In some cultures what in reality this becomes is man and wife + x number of mistresses or affairs on the side, or what people call an open marriage.

People are using the wrong framework. Social behaviour is a particular way because it works, not because it is dictated.
As soon as std's become a major problem with no cures, suddenly behaviour and attitudes change.

Sin leads to death. Without modern medicine it is very easy to talk about rights of individuals to behave as they like. Would you marry a partner with a 90% chance they will kill you because of what they carry?

Anyone who thinks they can run a family with more than one wife and one husband needs counselling.

You believe in 'a God'? So what? That means nothing. We can't have gay marriage, it's not valid. God ordained marriage as between one man and one woman for life. Sure, polygamy is in the Bible, but the Bible is history, it shows us the sinfulness of man. It certainly doesn't endorse such things. Do you remember the crap people who practiced polygamy went through? The consequences of their choices weren't pretty. Live by the sword, die by the word - if you will.

There is so much jealousy, resentment and built-up tension in those women! How awful to "share," a man!

Lets leave aside the fact that God says ONE Wife for the moment. I think they are all nuts. I'd find it hard enough dealing with one wife, not to mention the fact that you'd end up playing favorites which isn't right, and the women would just end up fighting and competing for position. It would end up being complete anarchy. Just look at what happened with David, Solomon, Jacob. It was a nightmare for all of them, and Solomon was lead astray by his numerous wives.

I think its proverbs that says something about being happy with the wife of your youth. Then there is somewhere else that says a husband is to leave father and mother and cleave unto his wife, and there are dozens of passages where it says wife.

Wife singular!!!!!!!!!! Anything else is anarchy and God is order not chaos!

That's just my thoughts anyhow
Leaders of the church are to have one wife. not the people in the church.

That being said ( I'm to lazy to edit my post to add this)
I don't want a sister wife. I don't share.
Also when watching shows like that pray for them.
