A second wife‘s journey into a plural family

Polygyny is a heated debate. Everyone has an opinion about the matter, regardless of how much one has actually studied about it. I must admit that until Biblical Marriage was revealed to me as a righteous family structure, polygyny sounded unfair and misogynist. The female mindset - whether we...

First of all, welcome into this larger 'family,' @Lee_Lee.

Secondly, I loved every word of your essay. For so many different reasons: well argued; approached from various angles; the emphasis on the necessity for your man's resolute love and structure; and the inclusion of a misleading teaser was a great hook!

Thank you so much for this. I've already shared it with others outside of here and will post it on X and Truth Social this evening.
 
Beautiful, thanks for sharing and congrats on finding a good man!

I'm sure he's short and hideous, no beard, can't shoot... :p jkjk
Congrats to my friend who found a good thing as well. Love you brother!
 
Welcome and thank you for posting the link to your article. It is a blessing to read your real-life story which gives an insight into some of the struggles you went through. Indeed, polygyny is difficult, but it is made much more challenging by the monogamy-only feminazi culture most of us live in with those who deliberately interfere in relationships. May God's favour be poured out abundantly on your husband and his wives (Proverbs 18:22 :) ). Shalom

I appreciate the Cliff’s Notes.
 
Conclusions:
  • It‘s HARD for everyone involved. Only strong marriages will survive this process.
  • A second wife will be grafted into an existing setup, jealousy or competition towards the first wife is very foolish. It‘s not because the husband treats both women with equality that the second woman should not acknowledge who was there first.
  • How the husband treats his first wife is a reflection of his character and how he will respect the following covenants.
  • The first wife‘s loyalty to her husband is the reflection of his leadership.
  • Scriptural foundation is key.
