Polygamy

[theArtistFormerlyKnownAs]

and, get the emotions out of it, and think financial... How much better off would your family have it if there were 5 or 6 people's income instead of 2?

Maybe, if the majority weren't women
I mean, seriously, imagine it now...one wife goes out to the store and comes home with sheeyot you don't even need...multiply that x4 and those multiple incomes don't look so great anymore now do they?
How about the fact that if you all have jobs, that would require at LEAST 3 vehicles (assuming some people can carpool). Insurance for the vehicles, and for each wife (I don't think many work places will pick up multiple spouses ) and kids. Food for 5+kids. You need a bigger house to fit everyone (unless you make some sleep on the floor or something, which is an option).

I could go on and on

for those times when you need to talk but hate that other person at the moment.

Not that you would know anything about that

You gonna' take that, Larry?

 

[pixiegirl]

My history sharing a house/bed with one person sucks. I can only imagine adding more people to the mix male or female. I'd be moving out. No thank you. I need a wife myself but Chasey got married.

Maybe that's your problem. Maybe you're more of a commune type of gal and you've been doing it wrong all these years?

Christy and I made that plan a LONG time ago! My dad always said I was born a generation too late.

 

[Chasey_Lane]

Chasey got married.

He's on travel for the next two weeks. :shrug:

 

[Larry Gude]

Of course...

You gonna' take that, Larry?

...not. I'd just go get wife #2 and ask her if she wanted to go get dinner and some beers. Vrail would suddenly be over her mad because she'd wanna go too, then she'd apologize for hurting my precious feelings and then the three of us would go out and have a wonderful time and the the two of them would proceed to, in a very pleasant and entertaining fashion, explain why the whole thing was my fault in the first place and, being outvoted and the entire 'one on one gotta win the argument' environment wouldn't even be there, thus, no fights. The second wife would head off conflicts at the pass.

3 is a much better number in avoiding conflict as long as everyone is fair. With two, passion and anger cloud things too quickly and easily.

I'd love a second wife. The right one.

More income more than makes up for higher bills. And as for unneccessary spending, that goes back to "choose wisely."

its a proven fact that polygamy makes men live longer..

i think i know why:

when one wife gets mouthy, kick her out and call the next one
house should be spotless
dinner always ready
laundry always done

goodday

I suppose if everyone has lucrative (sp) jobs, but especially if there are kids involved...not everyone will be able to work all of the time, and chances are you'll probably be limited to 2 (3, max) "high" income jobs. Obviously, its going to come down to "choose wisely", but I think you're somewhat limited in selection when it comes down to "women willing to share"

 

[itsbob]

No child care bills, as one woman (or husband) could always be home with the kids. Say four people working, and hopefully you all met in college so you all have GREAT jobs.

You'd need a bigger house, BUT you could afford it.. maybe nother car, BUT you could afford it.

Take in a welfare woman to take care of the kids as a 5th wife, and one less person on the dole.

But seriously, I don't understand WHY the government has issues, and even has laws making polygamy illegal. Anyone want to take a guess?

 

[Larry Gude]

...suffer from lack of imagination.

Imagine how many women there are out there who've worked their ass off and climbed the ladder yet would leap at the chance to be able to run a household, stay at home, cook and clean instead of sitting in traffic and meetings, and have a second wife who helped but also enjoyed regular work, a 'man' type profile, but who understood women because she are one. Add a guy who was all too happy to go work, turn over everything else to the women and just do what he was asked to do.

Hmmm. Remind me again of why we'd need a man in the picture?

Polyomist women are taught from childhood to have their soul purpose is to get married and take care of a home. In a household the wives take turns with the dinners and meals. Like almost a chore chart- and the women sign up. Some have outside jobs- but not all. They all participate in the child rearing, which can raise some ugly hairs too- because one parents a different way- and the mama bear syndrome comes out, and it will be unhealthy for the family. Because a FLDS man is told to "keep control over his family" to retain and or obtain preisthood status. As far as the mouthy instance, they are reared from a childhood age to always "keep sweet".

Read Stolen Innocence.. it gives a good view into the polyogmus commune.

If...

...you need to be reminded, then maybe you don't need one. No one has to remind me what I love about having a woman around anymore than they have to remind me of what I don't love about having them around.

 

[BadGirl]

Hey, I'd love to have a wife.

Someone to clean my house, wash my cothes, cook my meals, run errands, drop off the boy to daycare, etc. What's not to like about that?

Yes...I say again, I'd LOVE to have a wife.

...we go again with the imagination thing; polygamy doesn't need to be by someones book anymore than Christianity, Islam or any other handbook.

If you can imagine what you'd like it to be, then you've got your own personal handbook.

Does your boss know you are using drugs at work?
