We have a humble request of all of you experienced husbands, wives, fathers, mothers out there....Although we are new to the forum, I have not seen a thread that quite explores this topic. I'd love to explore the real life experience of the...

Thank you, Steve! Life is filled with challenges and brokenness....I guess we just try to focus on the positive! Not always easy....I am sure you understand!

Avoiding bigamy difficulties is easy: have only one legal wife. If you want everyone in the family to have similar rights as a legally married couple then form an LLC and make everyone part of the LLC. IMHO government licensed marriage is...

I agree. Still, the woman was "put to death" and she survived through no action on her part. She paid the price.

Honestly, you've never struck me as odd. You seem well grounded to me. ;)

As the oddball on the site, I have walked a different path to arrive at more or less the same place. When I met my wife, I was dating her friend. She and I hit it off and we're obviously very interested in her. After knowing her for a time, she...

Thanks, Brother! Yes, Nathan and David! Such a powerful exchange and moment. I love how Nathan uses the lambs as analogies to wives....The rich man took the poor man's ewe lamb while he had his whole flock, David took Uriah's wife when he...

The first glimmer of this truth hit me when I read 2nd Samuel chapter 12, verse 8. At that point (nearly 20 years ago), I realized polygamy isn't adultery. I didn't yet realize that it is completely legitimate, but I knew for certain that it...

After 2,000 years of church history and Greco-Roman and Church culture that denigrated polygyny, it is only by the grace of God that we are all here, understanding, believing, and trusting in His perfect wisdom and grace....I am generally curious...
