My wife and I are struggling and going round and round about polygamy. Please pray for us to understand the truth, delight in it, and submit to it. Please pray that God will empower me to lead and love properly. Please pray that He will help her to submit entirely. Please pray that we will be of one mind in following the Christ.

I’m praying too
Praying!
Thank you Julieb. We may take you up on that.
Praying for God's will.
If you have opportunity to give your wife the link to the blog @WifeOfHisYouth has written, she might find that very helpful. If you haven't read it yourself, I'd highly recommend you do first. Shalom
Wow! Thank you. I didn't know that @WifeOfHisYouth had written a blog! I have a good deal of respect for her and @Asforme&myhouse.
Julie is amazing. I talked with her in the beginning of my journey, too. I’d be happy to talk with your also- through text, talk or email.
I know I felt really alone in those early months/ years trying to figure out my fears. I, also, rode the polygamy emotional (not so)merry-go-round.

Same.
The blog is really good insight into the emotional struggle that is so real for so many. I didn't grow up with the aversion to the idea and was (and am) very positive about living this life. It does require staying in the truth and taking every thought captive. I don't believe you could be double minded and wishy washy and happy in polygyny.
My hubby and then our sons have been doing tree service for many years....since before I knew him. It is dangerous work and men who make mistakes can be seriously injured and killed. It happens every year. I learned long ago that fear and worry were bed news. One day early in my married life I worried. That was enough of that hell for me!
A life of peace requires faith. Men folk climbing trees, raising children, or adjusting to the amazing blessing of a sisterwife.
I hope and pray that you and your wife grow together and gain a stronger relationship with each other and with God through learning and studying. May she be granted enough wisdom to build her house.

Praying for God’s will. I am happy to talk with her on the phone. I have been loving this life for 24 years now.
Amen and well said!
