For those of you who think having more than one wife is a good plan what if your wife wanted more than one husband?
Polygamy is not a good plan. People are people and just way too fickle to have so complex a set of personal and marital relationships let alone adding the complexities of multiple integrated children.

God did not want Israel to take wives of other nations,for He did not want them to be led astray from the truth,by their false gods,and ways.
Solomon had 300 wives,and 700 concubines,and the Bible says the LORD was not pleased with him concerning that.
1Ki 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
Solomon wrote the book of Ecclesiastes,and that he applied himself to fleshy pleasures,but he said that it is all vanity,except for serving God.
Ecc 12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
Ecc 12:9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
Ecc 12:10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
Ecc 12:11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
Ecc 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Ecc 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Honey? Men aren't magically endowed with authority. It is bestowed on some -- both men and women -- through God and by others. You don't qualify under Titus 2:6-8
You don't qualify yet. Matter of fact, you're supposed to be learning from older people, including women, but you haven't even caught on to that yet.

Have you ever noticed most polygamist are men? I often hope it's because women aren't that stupid. I'd guarantee that, except... well, sometimes they are women too.
Guys don't have to do anything except give the seed, women have to lug it around for months and months....plus deliver it.....props/respect to women!I think the term for one wife having many husbands is polyandry.....rare but probably is happening somewhere on this planet.... lol...

Seriously though, women with multiple husbands is really nothing new. There are countries where that has always been acceptable in their society. As the Bible says, "There is nothing new under the sun."
And the ungodly will continue to promote and justify whatever their flesh desires.

Failing comprehension is par for the course for our flesh. That's why we're told not to lean on our own understanding and to trust in the Lord with all our heart.
I Corinthians 2
[SUP]10 [/SUP]But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. [SUP]11 [/SUP]For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. [SUP]12 [/SUP]Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. [SUP]14 [/SUP]But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. [SUP]15 [/SUP]But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. [SUP]16 [/SUP]For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
