Polygamy or Monogamy

For me, it's really about monogamy. I don't believe in polygamy. Some do believe in polygamy, which is their choice, but I'm just really not one of them. Personally, I would have a problem, if my husband had more than one wife. I'm really about one spouse at a time.

I would choose monogamy. I don't like the idea of one man having more then one wife. To me it just doesn't seem right! I grew up with the monagamy theme. To me polygamy is a man being selfish and it is cheating in some ways! I know polygamy is band in the US but there are still religious groups who still have polygamist marriages and get away with it! If it is outlaw why do groups are still premited to this? I don't get it! I know in most of African countries polygamy is legal. I work at a college and some of our international students are from Afrca. Most of these students from Africa are married but only have one wife. Some would like more then one wife but they can't afford more then one! Can you believe that? Anyway this my response on this subject.

Well clorissa123, both have it pros and cons I guess, now for polygamy you would have different legal partners. However I am not too sure if you are married, it is not easy to handle one woman, what makes you think you would be able to handle two or more women. haha. I guess in the end it is a matter of choice, some people have one wife but still have many mistresses so what is the difference? if you get what I mean.

I, personally, am all about monogamy. I love my husband very much. But I dont think I could keep up with more than one man. I also think that if I had more than one husband he would get cheated out of my love and affection because he would have to share it. I definitely would not be willing to share my husband with another woman. That is a fault of mine - I am too needy already! I dont get to spend as much time with him as I would like and I dont have to share him now. If I did have to share him, I would become a very miserable woman! All of that said, I am not totally against polygamy. As long as all parties involved are happy with the situation and everyone is cared for, I dont think it is a problem. A friend of a friend is actually dating a couple. They all live together and share a bed together. They have a great relationship - all 3 of them. So whatever works for them!
