My Wife and I have talked of finding a Sisterwife for over 3 years now and think we might have finally found her, someone I dated 15 years before I met my wife and went separate ways at the time remaining friends. Ever since my wife had our son I've fell a strong calling to have more children, she decided she doesn't want more right now. So for me becoming Christian polygyny seemed to be the answer. We're also raising her teenage niece. The woman we're considering bringing into the family is divorced and has 2 girls from different dads, one a couple years older than my son and the other a teen. While I make a great father figure my own son would become the youngest besides totally throwing off the male, female ratio and doubling the size of our family.

The reason I wanted a second wife was to have more children of my own, to find my nesting wife :) During our courtship our prospective sister wife was yearning for us to marry spirtually to start our family but than had complications and had to have a hysterectomy. Now wanting babies but unable to have more. Do I continue to go forwarded? Is my house big enough? Is it ok that my fist born is the youngest? She would be a great mother to my son and any future kids I may have with my first wife. She would help us to find our nesting sisterwife too. With no support or resources in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida I'm feeling disconnected, discouraged and alone. This would be a huge undertaking, how do I know if I'm ready or should even do this? I feel its the right thing to do, how do I know if God really wants me to do this. What the heck do I tell my family? Is it just starting to become real or am I just nuts? :?:
 
Welcome, Looking4Nester.

First, marrying a single mom and being a father to her kids is one of the reasons we promote PM. It seems to best fulfill the last verse of Jame 1.

As to the rest -- looking for a wife to fill a specific, defined, broodmare role in the family seems much less than best. It seems to stick the woman involved too much into a box, with specific obligations tied to her sense of self worth and place within the family.
